My Special Josh

Josh is 13 years old now and is my amazing evangelist at his Jr. High School. He takes after his dad and I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a Calvary Chapel pastor someday. He loves to wear witness shirts most days of the week and would wear them everyday except he doesn't own that many. We need to change that:).

He still plays baseball but one thing that is new this year is Show Choir. Josh loves to sing and dance. He takes after his mom. I wish I was up there with him.


I am so proud of my oldest son. I remember when I was pregnant with him and I was on bedrest. I had to fight for him to stay healthy while I was pregnant. Sometimes doing nothing is the hardest thing to do. I remember my mom telling me that although it was hard for the four months I was on bedrest, it was minimal compared to the lifetime it would give Josh, and boy was she right.


Josh is actively involved at church helping set up and tear down. The other kids look up to Josh and one has even said he wants to be just like Josh. That makes me very proud.


He is a very protective brother of his sister Ashley. He has had to warn some of the other guys to stay away. He is also a great brother to Daniel (his video game buddy) and Nathan.


Josh is trustworthy. I remember when he was just a little boy and he came running to tell me that he did something he shouldn't have done. He went outside and got into the gated pool area (appearantly the gate was unlocked). He felt so guilty that he had to come tell me to clear his conscience. The good thing about that is that he hasn't changed one bit. He is very sensitive to the power of the Holy Spirit and he is very close to both Steve and myself.


He is a genlte leader amongst his friends. He doesn't do the "in thing" just to be considered cool. He does the right thing and is a very happy person.
