Name That Baby! Part II

June 10, 2011

Eight years ago...

..... he came into my life....
.... he immediately captured my heart...

.... and has forever changed me for the better....
.... with the special spark only he has....
.... a work ethic to be admired...

... an imagination that will carry him far in life...

...he lives hard, plays hard, and loves hard {and sleeps hard}...
.... with an amazing gift of being able to reside in this specific moment in time, and not grow up too fast {to please his Mommy, I'm sure}...
... and giving me those rare moments of {despite being SUPER cool} total, unbridled affection and pure JOY...
.... my little man has opened my eyes to be able to see this world in a whole new perspective!
I cannot even begin to fathom how I could have gotten so lucky to have been invited on this journey. My heart has laughed with him, broken for him, swelled to the brink of capacity with pride for him. I have loved more than I ever imagined that the human spirit could and I will forever hope for him. His life is filled with unlimited potential. And I get the special privilege to experience the first hand accounts of him using his God-given gifts, growing in his strengths, overcoming his fears, and developing into an amazing person that I am HONORED to know.

Happy Birthday, Brant! I pray that you have a wonderful day today and all of your tomorrows. I pray that you grow into the full realization of just how awesome you are. I pray that you see those things about yourself that make you strong, determined, fearless, funny, inventive, and lovable and you use them to their full advantage. I pray that your life is filled with people who truly love you and respect you. I pray for all the best things for you- health, family, happiness, a life grounded in faith- and no matter where you go, however near or far, you always have a place in my home and my heart! I love you, son. There is nothing you could ever do to make me stop loving you. I will always love you more, I will never love you less!

"for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1:3-4
