The Plans I Have For You

"For I know the plans that I have for you, plans for good and not for evil, to bring you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

God gave this verse to Mala and I over 11 years ago when we discovered shortly after Thanksgiving that Mala was pregnant with our son Bryce. Bryce was born on May 8 1998. He was born while I was to be in Boston on a Senior Trip with students for Christian Heritage Academy. I came home early when I learned Bryce was being born.

Bryce is eleven years old on Friday and I just wanted to take the time to say Happy Birthday to him. Bryce has been homeschooled this year for the first time and he has done so well. This has been his best year in school. His mother has done a wonderful job and sometimes I help too. Bryce's days consist of reading a lot, doing math homework, spelling, writing, and memorizing scripture. He is learning to hide God's Word in his heart. He likes riding his bike, playing with fake swords and just being an energetic young man. He likes to play baseball, basketball and football, really just about any sport. He is a lot of fun to be around. He has a very tender heart towards the things of God and people.

I do not know what God has planned for Bryce. He is a very unique and interesting young man. But I do know that God has something special planned for him. My prayer for Bryce is that he will always follow the Lord, always have a tender heart and that he might develop into that young man that God wants him to be. I love you son -Dad

just thought you would like to know that someone is reading!!! I need to get busy on my blog too. Seeing how yours is set up makes me understand how it works better. No one is going to stumble upon these. We will have to promote them ourselves by providing links (thought you would like to know) I was just going through my notes that I wrote down from the banquet and saw your blog link! ;) God Bless!
