My son's turning thirteen!

Nat is changing before my eyes! He looked taller today as he came home with his new soccer ball and returned the change from the soocer shoes he couldn't find yet. I don't know what makes me prouder, to see him developing and getting older or watching him mature and get wiser. His birthday is Monday, November 2nd.

Even though I don't feel old enough to have a teenager, and certainly not wise enough, I am reminded of how perfect God's timing is. I am so thankful that God is in charge of my life and I can trust his wisdom in raising my children, teaching school, and in so many other challenges I face throughout my days.

I pray that as Nat and the other kids continue to grow and mature that I can teach them to be courageous in Christ. Life can challenging is so many ways that I know I often need God's courage to act boldly in the manner I believe he is calling me to act. May you also claim his courage!
