Bitter Sweet......

Yesterday he started Kindergarten.

Today he started College.


Can somebody please tell me who took my little boy? Who is this guy who has a DEEP voice, shaves, drives, has a job and now goes to college? All kidding aside. It is bitter sweet to watch this little child grow, yet, you want him to grow into a fine God fearing man. But it has flown by too quickly for this Mother Bird. I tried not to blink. I savored every moment I possibly could...yet still he grew up before my eyes. I thank God for this young man.This is a year of many accomplishments and growth in faith. His walk has been amazing and significant. It is just different around here, as he is gone every day taking a couple classes at a Jr. College, then working his first job. His home schooling journey has come to a close. I am torn. But know this is a wonderful thing. He is growing and maturing into a stand up gent. I have faith that we gave him a wonderful solid Christian foundation to lead him into this life with purpose and gratitude for what he has been graciously given by God. I pray he will use his talent and gifts for good and make a life for himself and always give that glory to our Heavenly Father. No matter what though...To me, he will always be that little boy in the first photo above. I am so very happy for him!

The Adventures Of Prague....My Son's Mission Trip To The Czech Republic

  

My son and his team had a wonderful time on their mission trip to the Czech Republic...He spent the last three weeks working with the youth in Prague...teaching them about his faith and Christianity. They stayed with a wonderful missionary family who lives and serves in Prague. It surely was an experience of a lifetime.  

 They worked with the children and teens throughout the weeks
 and had a little free time touring around the city and sites.

He was able to use his gifts of music and his faith with the children...They taught the little children
 "Jesus Loves Me" and the meaning of the song...How sweet is that?
They worshipped each Sunday together in Church.

 And spent one whole week in the mountains of Czech, hiking, fellow shipping and evangelising to the teens. It was a humbling, memorable experience for him...he was able to share his faith with unbelievers that came to believe at the end of the trip. it is so good to see the Lord working through my son and the other missionary team.

He also built new friendships with the team members and the Czech teens.

And he soaked up the beauty of God's creation...majestic isn't it?

 
He said it was so European..Not like America at all...His time was amazing!
The pic. above is the house of John Huss ( Jan Huss) A Christian Martyr, religious thinker.
he said every house or building seemed to have a box of flowers
 outside and the people were very friendly.
 

I am so thrilled beyond measure that he was able to go on this trip.....
 I pray they were able to bless others...For i know they left completely blessed by them.
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures.
