Well, it is official now…Stephen is an adult…18 years old! But last night he said…”technically”. hmmm…what does that mean?!
After church in the morning, our family went to see Avatar 3D, which we all really enjoyed. Then Stephen went and played in the worship band at Adoram church, the same church Scott is mentoring as a church plant and we are meeting with on Saturday nights for training of cell leaders. After the service, Stephen came home to enjoy a nice surprise party (that Lydia, her boyfriend Raul and I put together) with the band from Adoram and some friends from the Emmanuel church. Stephen’s good friend, Bogdy, came and joined us too. We thank God for Stephen and the man we see him becoming through Jesus Christ. As Scott wrote in a blessing for Stephen, we see him as a gifted scientist and artist and a man of gentleness and conviction. Scott, Lydia and I pray for God’s blessing in Stephen’s life today and forever!
Two prayers come to mind as I write this morning… I remember the day I prayed that God would make my children “world changers for His Kingdom”. And the day I asked God to use Romania and this “adventure” as a spiritual building stone in their relationship with Him and their impact for His Kingdom worldwide. We yet do not know where God will take Stephen and Lydia or what the road will look like along the way, but I can see the answers to my prayers everyday. They are both truly amazing young people…and we thank God for them…everyday!!
Please pray for Stephen and Lydia today. They have four months of school left (Stephen will graduate from high school in May) and then our huge transition back to the States. These are both matters of concern; that they finish their schooling well and they find strength and peace as we face changing relationships once again.
Thankful for your prayers!
