When Jordan, our 18 year old, text Curtis and I saying, "I need to talk to you and
dad, together, tonight, it can make a parents heart skip a beat! When that same
teenage child, who is in his senior year of high school and has been excited for
years about his senior spring break trip with the guys tells you "I really want to
deepen my relationship with Christ and I would like to go serve God in Haiti with
our church youth group during my spring break trip"; that same heart that skipped
a beat, swelled with joy, excitement and pride!
Jordan is VERY excited to be traveling with 39 other wonderful people in our
church who are going to Haiti to work in three orphanages, help build and paint
buildings and share the message of Christ and His love! We couldn't be more
excited for the experience Jordan will have and how God will use him during this
time!
As I shared in our Christmas letter, Nicholas has transformed before our eyes
since moving home! This child has gone from a quiet child who enjoys golf and
hanging with a friend or two, to a social butterfly! He managed the middle school
football team and is managing the basketball team in an attempt to get to know
others. He has grown 6 inches in the last year! More than his social and physical
growth I'm excited about starting to see spiritual growth with him too! Nicholas
text me yesterday and it started out by saying "Mom I need you to do me a
favor". I'll be honest, I was thinking it was going to involve bringing him a turkey
sub from Subway as he had an away basketball that evening. When I went on to
read the text it said "will you pray for Andrews' mom because she is having a
really serious surgery and she needs our prayers". I was shocked! I was excited!
I immediately prayed for Andrews mom, their family and the medical team. We
couldn't be more proud of Nicholas and the young man he is becoming!
