This handsome young man just turned 17 years old. I have to admit parenting him has been one of my biggest challenges. Everything he does he does BIG! If he acts up it's big, but when he behaves he does it up right! Up until July of 2010 he struggled with lots of issues. But after our camping ordeal he just decided to act up BIG again, but this time it was act up RIGHT. He has been so well behaved. It's like he grew up overnight. God answered my prayers and them some. He passed all his classes in school. He is polite, courteous, well mannered, and pleasant to be around. I really don't know what happened. He just clicked. I sure hope he keeps up the good work. It's been 6 months now and I am so proud of him. If I have this much success with all my children I will be one proud mama. Thank you Lord! Keep up the good work Marvin, I love you lots and I'm so proud of you.
Don't you just love to see God in action changing our kids for the better? Sometimes it takes a hard knock and a lot of tough love, but God is awesome in keeping our back. I use to tell people that my now 15 year old would be the death of me. The past couple of years have seen such huge growth in her....NOW it is the 10 year old. BUT, I've seen how the Lord has worked on the 15 year old, I know He will work on the 10 year old too....today would be nice LOL
