Brandon

Brandon’s Birthday…a beautiful day to remember! Brandon is 16 today! He is tall, cute, and friendly. We have gone through many struggles, failures, AND mountain-top victories together. It’s beautiful to see the image of Christ being formed in him as he makes decisions and matures into “what he wants to be” for the Lord.
A little bit about him: He loves soccer and is an excellent goalie! His hobby is listening to music! He is working with our Praise and Worship team. He has a desire to play the bass guitar and is practicing. He has been doing a baptism course since March and will be baptized in September.
Say a little prayer for him today and write to him if you have time.
Yummy cake!!!!

Wow--handsome boys! Happy birthday, Brandon. I hope you have a ton of birthday blessings and pray that the spiritual ones outweigh all the (many, many) others. Love you!

Kar, how did he get so big, so old, so handsome, so fast? Wasn't it just yesterday that you all were visiting me in Florida??? WHERE DOES THE TIME GO???? And is Luke going to be that big, handsome, and old when I wake up in the morning??? WHERE DOES THE TIME GO????

Happy birthday, Brandon!

Brandon, happy birthday!!! Glad to see that you were enjoying your day (I'm assuming this was a picture from today). Your mom wrote some very admirable things about you and it's exciting to hear how God is working in your life!

(Who's in the middle of your picture?)

Happy birthday, Brandon. I've been thinking about you all week, praying little prayers for you all week, knowing you're turning that big 16, and now you can drive...at least in the US with a license. Since it didn't work out to call on your B-day, we'll keep trying.

I was so happy to hear your plans to be in the baptism next month.

I remember when Brandon was born. I had his picture on my desk at work so I could "practice" being a grandma on your mom's grandkids so I'd be a super grandma when I had my own grandkids. My co-workers laughed at me, but kept asking how Brandon was doing. Can't believe it was 16 years ago! Happy birthday, Brandon!

a.peg - I think your grandkids would say that you ARE the best grandma! Thanks for practicing on my kids! They also remember a great Aunt!
