I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing ten years ago this evening. After 37 hours of labor, our first son made his grand entrance into the world. I know parents say this all the time, but I truly can't believe how quickly the time has passed. When I look at him now, I see not a young boy, but a young man. Excuse me while I get my tissue...sigh.
We are so proud of what Austin is becoming. He is a true first born - everything must be done decently and in order! When we need someone to help, we know we can count on him. He has a heart for the Lord and a sincere desire to do what is right. Probably the thing I appreciate about him the most is his sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and his honest, repentant heart.
As with most boys his age, he adores his LEGOS and computer games. Spending time with his brothers and his three best friends is at the top of his list of favorites as well. The Lord has blessed and surrounded him with wonderful, godly friends.
Thank you Lord for the opportunity to be Austin's mom! I can't wait to see what the next ten years have in store.
Happy Birthday Austin! He is a handsome young man. Yes, the time does go by too fast. My ds is 15. I miss the little boy he used to be but I love the young man of God that he is today.
He is a handsome boy! Congratulations to him and you to mom! My oldest son is about to turn 11 on the 30th so I know how you feel. It sounds like our boys would get along great - they have plenty in common... LEGO's, Gameboy, friends and the Lord - not to mention homeschooling!
Happy Birthday Austin! Yes, 10 is a BIG one! Boy, it passes way too fast! I love the pictures on your blog! If I got that many good pictures of my gang I think I would faint! LOL
What a wonderful tribute. He does sound like a wonderful, godly, young man. I am sure the Lord has great plans for him.
I can't believe my oldest, my dd, will be 11 in February. I, too, find the time has gone by way too fast!
The daily, sometimes hourly, musings of a homeschooling mom of four surviving on prayer, friendship and lots of Starbucks. Some days my cup runs over and some days it all spills out the cracks...and I wouldn't have it any other way.
