HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAMSEY!

Nineteen years ago today my first child was born and I began this journey known as motherhood. I've come to realize motherhood is one of God's most powerful tools for shaping and refining...not the child, but the mother.

Last year, when he turned 18, Ramsey was gone from us to Fort Leonard Wood, MO, for basic and advanced training. This year, as he turns 19, he is gone again for advanced training at Fort McCoy in southwestern Wisconsin. It's very strange to have a child absent for their birthday...but I guess I better get used to it!

Ramsey was a beautiful baby and a sweet little boy. He has grown to be a fine young man. I have much to be proud of him for and thankful to God for. I am very proud of Ramsey's willingness and commitment to serve our country in the armed forces. I am thankful that God has kept His Hand upon Ramsey, guiding him and protecting him. As I, once again, place my son in God's Hands, my prayer is that He would continue the good work that He began in Ramsey and that his life would bear fruit for God's glory and the furthering of His Kingdom.

Happy Birthday, Rams, and may God keep you, bless you, and guide you always. We love you.
