Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

More than just a cute face....


Yeah, I know mom's are kinda prejudiced in their thinking of their kids!!

I am no exception!

This guy, with his mischievous grin, is more than just cute, fast and troublesome:)

He has a heart of gold!

Yesterday he was texting me from class about orphanages and asking if I could get him some names of some that could use some help---well yeah, no problem.

He was asking about Sarah's Covenant Homes and some maybe in Africa.

They had a project they had to do for a class that required them to raise funds and choose where to make an impact.

His heart was broken to hear that most kids had no awareness of the needs of orphans overseas, nor did they care to hear the stories of his siblings and how lack of food and medical treatment almost killed his little sister!

When he finally was able to call, he was so upset with their lack of vision. Saying over and over that he knew what $5000 could do for kids with nothing, how they could eat, get medicine, and clothes.

Their world is small!

His world is BIG!

And better yet, his God is BIG!

Though his classmates vetoed him and one other student, I KNOW this will not be the last we hear from him.

I am excited to see where God takes my amazing son in this life.

He will be traveling to San Diego this weekend with his Dad, to race in Junior National Cross Country Championships.

They are looking forward to guy time, gorging on racing, and encouraging one another.

Pray for their traveling safety, for both of them as they have homework to accomplish too, and a blessed time of encouragement to one another. And as our family focus has been, that they be aware of the opportunities God puts in their path to be a light for Him!

Doesn't surprise me at all that Drew would see needs that other students don't see, nor want to hear about.

Drew is a wonderful young man, and I am sure that the Lord has GREAT plans for his life.

So glad that he is speaking up in class (especially at such a liberal university). Sorry that he is not being heard, YET.

Drew ... keep speaking up. Keep letting your voice be heard. Don't be afraid to share the heart of the Lord with your fellow students.

I'm proud of Drew ... and I'm NOT his mama. :)

Hope "the boys" have a wonderful weekend together in San Diego. LOVE that city!
