Right In the Palm of His Hand…

Jeremy and I are the proud parents of 3 AMAZING and beautiful kids. They are honestly my pride and joy. I am honored to be their mom. Caleb is my eldest. He is 14 years old and WELL into teenagedom (I really wish that was a word). He’s turning more and more into a man every day. He’s now around 5′9″ to 5′10″. He’s on the verge of outgrowing his father. When I was a new mommy to Caleb, I knew that this day would come. I remember standing by his crib right after I came home from the hospital (and yeah, I’m sure the wonderful hormones that were surging through my body had a LOT to do with it) and starting to cry because I knew that my precious little boy would someday grow into a hairy legged young man who would have a deep voice and look down at me when I had to correct him for anything. However, I really didn’t think much about him one day leaving my nest…. I wouldn’t let myself go there… that is until here recently.

Caleb has always been very sensitive to the Spirit of God. I love that. I love that Jeremy has been the kind of father to him that has shown him that you can be a STRONG man and still be sensitive to the leading of the Spirit of God. Caleb recently informed us that he believes God is calling him to do missions work. My mommy’s heart is both elated and saddened. I know that under normal circumstances that the life of a missionary is anything but easy. I know that I will more than likely not get to see my son (and his future family) as often as I would like. But I also remember very vividly how I ultimately placed my Caleb into the hands of God. After all, He is the One who created him. Caleb is His to do with as He pleases. And so, my prayer of asking God to pass the passion that is in me on to my children is beginning. What an honor! So, for the next few years, we will begin the process of seeing exactly what direction Caleb wants to go in his pursuit of following the call of God. Please pray for Jeremy and I and especially Caleb… that we would all be sensitive to God’s leading. By the way, his name is Jeremy Caleb which means “Chosen by God” “Brave”…. how fitting.

Live Life Loud!
