Through His Eyes..(i phone)....

 
My son Maestro....What a gift, what a joy. We wouldn't trade him in for the world. This young man of mine was a little boy not so long ago. He will always be my little boy of course...Even though he is growing up so fast. We are very proud parents...I can boast right? In just a matter of five months he will be 18. I can't believe it. He has been home schooled almost his whole life up until this year. He started college to finish his senior year off as well as earn college credits early. They call it a dual credit program and ttechnically he has already graduated from the 12th grade this Winter..Woot Woot.... We are going to have a big celebration coming this Spring....So exciting. We will be taking his Senior pics and getting him a diploma. Now he is on the road to becoming a music major. He has been a talented pianist since the age of 7, writing his own compositions since. He has written a music score for a short film his talented friend has written and directed last year. So many wonderful gifts God has granted to him. We pray that he will fulfill his dreams of using his gifts in music some how in his future. Okay...pass the Kleenex.
 
This school year thus far has been a wonderful growing experience for him in so many ways. He has also captured some great artsy photos off his i phone as well....So, I thought I would share just a bit of his college experience so far...Through his eyes (i phone).
              
Oh yeah...He would also like to invite you to come by his new blog where he will record his thoughts, goings on in life and love for the Lord and music etc...Please stop by and visit him, perhaps become a follower and please keep him in your prayers. Your support will surly be an encouragement.
Have yourself a wonderful weekend.

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!
