Welcome to the Youth Group

This post is a little bittersweet. This past Sunday, Parker and all the other 6th graders were welcomed into the youth group at our church. The Minor's hosted the shin-dig at their home and there were kids through 12th grade there to welcome them. It was really a surreal feeling for me watching him grow into this new role of his life. I'm really excited for him because I know how much fun this time is but I also don't want him to miss anything or let it go by without 'stopping to smell the roses'.

I decided this morning to make a committment to myself over the summer to be more fervent in my prayers for my children. I feel like I've done them a huge injustice by not being as prayerful as I should be. I pray God's grace will cover my inadequacies in this. I have three amazing, beautiful and healthy children and above all else I pray they are filled with God's love everyday of their lives.

Here are the pics of the Welcome...ENJOY!
