HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BOY

This is my son (with his cousin). He HATES it when I call him "my youngest" or "the baby of the family." But, it is his birth order and I'm a little sad to say that my baby turned 17 today. He's a senior this year and my heart just aches each and every day at how fast the years have zoomed by me. All my babies are grown up and it feels like I was so busy working and being stressed that I missed it.
He and his stepbrother got baptized in church yesterday and he gave he his life to the Lord. (Pictures to follow next post). For that, I'm thrilled and cried tears of joy and sang songs of praise. Please pray for both of them. Pray that their new walk is bolstered by good Christian people and heavenly truths. Pray that God puts a hedge of protection around them and a hand of guidance upon them. May He lead them to their future wives, their future careers and their future calling serving Him.
Happy Birthday J! Your Mama loves you!

I know, he looks like his Uncle Ed and this is Uncle Ed's daughter. My baby boy is all grown up now. Sniffle, sniffle.
