Six years ago my amazing Max came into my life, and everything changed! I was in love from the first moment. Over the years we've had our challenges, tears and many joys and I know there are more to come. He is a delight and I am so blessed to be his mommy. I'm excited to see who God has created Max to be. As his personality and character develop I see God's fingerprints. I know that Max is "God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Eph. 2:10) My prayer as I parent Max is that Chris and I will partner with the Holy Spirit in revealing what God's purpose for Max's life is. I'm excited to see what his spiritual gifts are and how he has been equipped for glorifying God. I can't imagine my life without Max's enthusiasm and energy. His love for people convicts and inspires me and I think I've met my match in conversation!
Here are a few pictures of Max's birthday celebration at school. We took cupcakes, chocolate on chocolate, Max's choice. He wore a birthday crown and Maggie and I stayed for the morning with him. He enjoyed being the center of attention! Later that evening we had friends from church over for dinner. After dinner and presents Max and their son Matthew played on the wii, it was a lot of fun. For desert we had brownies with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Maggie made her way around the room sampling from everyone's bowl! I think Max had a good birthday and enjoyed his day.
