She told me yesterday that this is a fruition of a dream she's had for six years! At a stage of her life where so many young people want to get out from under authority, discipline and structure, she has purposefully placed herself squarely under a more intense form of those virtues than she has ever known! God will do so much in her life the next nine months and all of it will serve as a foundation for the great things He will continue to do in and through her for the rest of her life!
We enjoyed her orientation this morning with other XMC parents from around the country. It was so cool to look over the 2011 class of our Master's Commission program and realize that in 1991, our church launched the first MC program outside of Phoenix, AZ. Twenty years later, my daughter is going through that program led by one of the graduates of that first graduating class - Shawn Marcell, whose daughter Autumn is also going through the program this year! Providence sure has a great way of tapping you on the shoulder.
wow! longevity. consistency. faithfulness. = one blessed dude!
ReplyDeleteYou can never know exactly what your children will do or where they will be, but this is very encouraging. Training them is the first step. Letting God take over and letting go is the next step. We are working on step one and pray that Annabelle will follow God's direction.
ReplyDeleteAwesome... I am so happy for both of you guys! For sure your children are blessed and you by them as well. Can't wait to hear what the Lord is doing into their lives and through them, too. God bless both of your families!
