Tonight we got updated, "What I want to be when I grow up" from the kids... Here they are:
Sam: Not sure (He's tends towards the perfectionist side of life. Doesn't want to commit too early.)
Andrew: An archeologist - A pastor - An artist (He said that way he'll be rich. I hate to break his heart.)
Levi: A cowboy - A worker cowboy - A guitar player - a karate guy
As parents some of the most important things we pray for is that they'll grow up and love Jesus, live faithfully and passionately.
My prayer for parents out there is that you would know that God has not called you to determine your child's destiny, nor has He given you the choice to pick what raw material your child comes with. He has called you to train your child to embrace the unique shape that God has for her/him.
It's a big job, but they never said parenting was for wimps. You can do it, by the grace of God.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Jon
