Honor

I have had a week of firsts...a week of things that I have been a part of that I never imagined I would do.  Not that I thought I couldn't, I just never thought of doing. 
I spoke to our school district board...briefly I will admit, but my heart was pounding so hard.  Speaking in front of a former journalist, the superintendent of our schools, the incoming superintendent, and many other people that are actively involved in the education of my children along with the thousands in Broken Arrow.
Then I presented at the PTA Council meeting a program from the National PTA.  And for the most part people seemed to be actively listening and I didn't even have to throw chocolate at them...

But those pale in comparison to the honor and pride I felt when I witnessed the things I am writing next.
My boys took a step in their relationship with Christ, one that I didn't take at their young ages... and they did it without me pushing or nagging, they listened to the Holy Spirit, to God's voice speak to them.  Coulson is so excited he has told more people about being baptized than about getting the Wii he wanted for over a year.
Tonight, a lady who I respect very much thanked John Luc for his help, he looked her in the eye and in the most mature, respectful and geniune way he said, "Sure, absolutely anytime."  
I saw a piece of my son turning into a young man tonight, I saw my boys turn into young men of God this week...
NOTHING I could ever do could compare to the honor and pride, and even humilty that I felt at those moments and even now as I reflect upon them...
