It is amazing to me to think that my son, David, is graduating from high school while living here in Mexico. It's amazing because I almost waited to serve here until my kids were grown and on their own. You know how it is. You can always put off things until it's just up to you and all your decisions just effect you and you alone. The problem is that there will probably never be a time in our lives that our decisions only effect us.
Is there something that you'd like to do for the LORD that you're putting off until the time is right? The truth is that the time is SHORT. Jesus is coming soon and He's going ask us all what did we do with what He gave us.
When we came to Mexico, almost 2 years ago, I never pictured what God has done in our hearts to this point. My sons are young men now. They are growing up "others" focused instead of "self" focused. I just couldn't ask for more than that.
We're not sure of all God's plans for the future, but at this time we're pretty sure that David will be headed to Ensenada in the Fall to enter a trade school to get his certificate in welding. I never thought that David would be the first one in the family to be bilingual. He actually looks forward to going to school and being taught welding in Spanish. Go figure.
We gave our son David the middle name Jeremiah. We based it on Jeremiah 29:11. I remember reading and praying it over David when he was a baby. I also remember singing over him the song "He who began a good work in you...He who began a good work in you....will be faithful to complete it. He'll be faithful to complete it. He who started the work will be faithful to complete it in you."
So proud of both my sons. Both their futures look bright because both of them find their joy in serving others. God has been so good to me. If you want to see how....just take a look at my two young men, Dave and Ty.
