 I am very proud of my
family. I was not
able to get pregnant
until 11 years into our
marriage. Our children
are truly a blessing
from God. I prayed
and prayed for children
and was thrilled when
the Lord blessed us!
Our first child, Aaron,
came when I was 31 years
old. Aaron is 22 and is
getting his degree to be
a
school teacher.
Aaron is an extremely
serious man. He
wants to be wherever the
Lord leads him to be and
hopefully to
work with teens - that
is his goal.
 Adam
came four years later.
He is now 18 and became
a United States Marine
in October 2007. He is
now engaged to be
married to a wonderfully
sweet woman named
Bethany. Adam is
the practical joker and
loves music. He's
not certain where his
career will take him -
possibly law enforcement
like his father.
Whatever he
chooses, he will take
the challenge with
energy and zeal.
I have had the awesome
privilege of being used
of God to lead both my
children to a saving
knowledge of our
Saviour! Aaron was saved
in 1992 when he was 7
years old. He has
been growing in Christ
since that day and has
strong convictions for a
young man. Adam
was saved in 1999! Both
of my sons not only got
saved but their lives
changed as a result of
that profession just as
Second Corinthians 5:17
says that we become NEW
creatures when we get
saved. Both sons
Parents,
do you pray for your
children? Do you
sincerely want the
Lord's will in their
lives? What about
their spouses?
What about their
careers? Someone
passed on the following
to me and it has truly
been a blessing! I
hope it blesses you too!
