A proud mom and dad...

Please allow me just a minute to share with you. I praise God everyday for the blessings He's given Scott and I. One of the greatest blessings is our children. This week we have just been so proud of them and so very thankful.

Heather: She is doing so great at Liberty. She became a prayer warrior recently; the first step she has to take in order to become a prayer leader. She is very excited about that. She has shared with us daily the messages she is hearing from the speakers, the prayer vigils that she has been a part of... She has also met someone and will be bringing her "friend" home next weekend to meet us. Reason for this visit is that he wants to ask her out but she's made it very clear to him that she will do that after he has "the talk" with her Dad. Scott's ready and has his guns loaded :-). He's becoming a pro at this after having done it a few months ago with Lindsay's boyfriend. We're looking forward to meeting him and Lindsay and Heather are looking forward to going on a double date together.

Lindsay: What God has been doing in her life is amazing. She and Caleb are on a school retreat this weekend. She has made several decisions and also let us know that she led a girl to the Lord last night. She and her boyfriend, Eddie, have made a commitment to remain pure and they are extremely open about that. She has just recently made the decision that she will also be attending Liberty.

Caleb: What can I say about this precious child? He's had to live his life with two older sisters breathing down his neck. And he's done it with such grace (cough!cough!) He's our child that will pick the stranger out of every group and befriend them. A new foreign exchange student (their school has several) came this year for the first time, speaks very little english, and some of the students have not been very friendly. Caleb has done everything to make the boy feel welcome. I was at school the other day volunteering and the boy sought me out to let me know, in his broken english, that Caleb is his best friend...he was smiling from ear to ear. I was so proud.

We pray every day that our kids will love God more than anything or anyone else in this world. The enemy is so ready to snatch them. We're just so thankful that our kids all know and love the Lord. There's nothing more important to us than that!
