But here he is today, 2 months away from leaving home to attend Golden State Baptist College. He has many dreams and has always had a heart for children and teenagers. He has even talked about the idea of opening a boys' home/ranch to help troubled youth and also of being a youth pastor. He is excited about this next step for the Lord!
We left on Thursday for Kami's doctor appointment which is 3-hours away. We left the 3 younger ones with grandparents and took Joshua, Elisabeth, and Brenna with us. We stopped by Disney Quest in Orlando to celebrate Joshua's birthday and spent the night in Brooksville. Then on Friday, after Kami's appointment, we drove back and then celebrated with family and friends!
We decided to open up his presents from us before the "party" actually began. Do you notice Kami on the right?
She celebrated while getting her antibiotic treatments via the hanging IV in the picture!
We are not sure where the Lord is taking our family in the near future, especially with Kami's treatment. However, we fully understand that where ever the Lord leads us, we will be working with one less family member as Joshua attends college. It will be different as he has been a strength and worker in every ministry we have served in, but we know that God will bless him and the next ministry in which Joshua will be serving.
