I did want to mention that Friday was my Brycer's birthday. Amazingly, he is 8 years old already. I remember his delivery as clear as it was yesterday... He was born between 4 and 5 in the afternoon - I remember that because the nurses were watching Oprah in the delivery room! From the time he was born he has had an iron will, and while it was tiring and frustrating to me in his toddler years, I am now having the joy of seeing him set his heart unwaveringly after God. He has always had a heart for worship; even as an infant, we found that he could be calmed within seconds if we turned on the song "Days of Elijah". I'm not exaggerating...we have babysitters that could testify! We tried to always keep a copy of the CD in the diaper bag because it worked so well for soothing him; one time we listened to it for almost 9 hours straight on a drive home from a wedding in North Carolina because any time the song stopped he would begin to cry again! It was really an amazing thing!! And that was the beginning of his passion for music, which has always found an outlet in drums...he started demonstrating some rhythmic ability at age 2 when we got him his first toy drum set. He's now becoming quite a talented drummer (if I do say so myself!!).
I could go on about the amazing young man I see my son becoming, but I really am enjoying just pondering in my heart the things that God is doing in his life. While I have occasional feelings of sadness at the way I daily see him leaving behind his "little boy" years, I also am praying about and looking forward to seeing the destiny God has for my precious son.
(I debated about which pic to post, but I gotta say, Bryce is one cool dude, and this picture always just makes me smile when I think about how well it shows his real passion and personality.)
