Christian, your defining moments are actually mommy's defining moments. Each one chiseled more of me; my pride, my selfishness, my worldliness. God is still molding me into His image. But by His grace, I see more of Christ in me which I know would not be there if I did not have you. The Lord is using you in my life in ways that I could not have imagined. I was not one of those "saintly" parents who choose to parent children with special needs. I came into this kicking and screaming...literally. But today, oh how my eyes have been opened to see things more eternally. God will always be working on mommy until I see my Savior's face. However, my prayer today is that I would love you even more as I continue to embrace God's plan for your life and our family. I love you Sugar Bear!

Happy Birthday, Christian! Your life reminds me like one of those throwing stones...that you toss in the water and the ripples continue on and on...as you have blessed your parents they have continued to bless others by their experience of being your mom and dad. Thank you, Christian.
I saw a wonderful blog post on John Knight's blog about Kempton. Praise the Lord for all He is doing in your life and through your family.
Yay! Happy Birthday Christian!!
