The Right Man

Ok-so teenagers are

a.w.e.s.o.m.e.

Last night our family had the best time playing cards.

(and stayed up too late!)

The Southern Gospel tunes

(as well as Audio Adrenaline...)

were cranked up.

Hey, we only played one song at a time...

...and yes...the genres are opposite...

...don't send an email about it either! :)

We like it that way!

Everybody has their own groove.

Their own way to

praise Jesus.

We had a blast...

Our family is a singing family.

all. 4. parts.

and it is so much fun!

We have had the opportunity 

to share our music with

lots of people...

but when we can cut loose

in the kitchen

we sure make it sound interesting.

We have tenors trying to be

bass

We have bass trying to be

baritone

All wrapped up with

teenage hormones

I. love. it!!!!

Last night was no exception.

We laughed until our

sides hurt.

We smiled until the wrinkles in our cheeks

were fixed in place.

Uproarious

laughter.

One song came on over the speakers...

(below is the link!)

and as everyone sang...

I looked around the table...

at some pretty awesome teens.

What amazing things that God has planned.

pilot/musician/computer techie...future unfurled!!

author/musician/amazing cook...the sky is the limit!!

farmer/mechanic/business owner...no stopping him!!

What an awesome thing...

to be a parent...

to watch them grow up.

to make choices...

the good/ the bad/ the wise & not-so-wise 

and even...

well, um...ridiculously funny

and ridiculously NOT so funny.

Isn't THIS our job as Mom and Dad?!?!?

To point our kids to Christ!

...so they become the right type of men that the right woman wants...

And to raise daughters that desire that kind of right man?!

I am praying for all of you Mama's and Papa's out there trying your best to raise your kids to follow Jesus.

I am praying for all of the future Brides and Grooms out there that you aim to be all that God has called you to be.

To one day have a family that is sold out for Jesus Christ.

pray for your future spouse...

Don't settle for less!

Love ya'll!
