No Way to Explain the Feeling...

... when you watch your son behind the podium, pouring his heart out about his faith in Jesus!

Mike and I have now listened to Devin speak at church twice. Both times have blown us away. He truly has a gift and watching how it unfolds has been an awesome experience for all of us!

The last time Devin spoke was back in November. He spoke on having faith. Now, mind you... this kid had been sick with a horrible flu virus for about 3 weeks prior to the night he had to speak and hadn't even returned to school yet. He was so nervous ahead of time, nearly passed out during it, and really doesn't even remember half of what he said, which is why I've waited so long to post this. He was so very upset with himself because he didn't feel like he did a good job... we think he did a great job!



I want to thank Doug Todd (a high school youth leader, and the man that was with Devin the day he accepted Christ) and Chip Herrera (Youth Ministry Leader) for praying with Devin afterwards, and for really continuing to encourage him. You two are absolutely fabulous and mean so much to Devin and our family!
