"Beacon of Hope"


We journey through the challenging days for reasons known only to God. Yet we know that he holds our tomorrows just as surely as He has held our yesterdays and is holding our todays.



We have seen the windows of hope open in the darkest of moments and have trusted in His faithfulness, even when it seemed impossibly difficult. Together my sweet son and his beautiful Christina are raising a mighty man of God...these days are all a part of God's plan for Blake...a future bright with hope. He will go to places we will never see, reaching people we could never reach. This is all a part of the journey to "there". They are incredible teachers...their sweetness and strength to teach the lessons that will lead him into the Man of God that he will one day be.

There are bushels of fruit on display in their life everyday...Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentlness, and self-control...are abundantly overflowing, even when they are tired and weary, they all continue to press on.

I am humbled with the strength and courage that Blake faces each moment with. He doesn't know what a battle he fights...he doesn't realize just this is not a usual part of childhood..but he will forever be my hero...
I am so proud of Christina and Steven...for the people they are
..for the parents they have become
...and for the difference they are making in lives they touch. 
They are treasures to my heart.


Steven and Blake reading a Bible Story before bedtime....even in hospital...
....train up a child in the way he should go...

 

This sweetest of boys...has the sweetest of mothers...
and we are blessed to have them both in our lives.
