Looking at my fourteen month-old son son, I can't help but smile! He IS my pride and joy in life. I hope and aspire to be by his side during every accomplishment in life, and, cheering him along the whole way. I also want to set him up for greatness in everything he does. So, since before he was born, I started setting goals for him, and goals for where I would fit in as his mother.Now you might be asking yourself, 'what goals do you set for an infant?' I believe you must be intentional in everything you do. With a baby so young, it's my job to guide him through this new world. Honestly, I must share with you, it is my greatest joy in life to see my little man repeat something back to me that I taught him.
Some of my goals include language (primarily English, because that's our family's first language ), athleticism, music, faith, a pure enjoyment for life, and many more. These aren't in any particular order.
Life is full of ups and downs. You never know what is going to be thrown at you. I want my son to know that you don't have to always be happy, nor do you have to be content, but you can find joy in every circumstance. You can smile, dance, and laugh even in unfavorable circumstances! I can write more and more, but this is a blog not 'War and Peace'. I am here to leave a legacy. My living God has blessed me in ways that can not be counted. I want to pass this to my son. I have seen the sun set in various places from coast to coast in this country, and a few more. I have seen the purest of love and the most vicious hatred. I have stood in the midst of the beauty of the earth: underground in mammoth cave, on the edge of the grand canyon, on a kayak in halong bay with one of my best friends in my life, and at the alter of God marrying the love of my life. These are just the highlights! I will intentionally walk through life, as an adventure, with my little boy!
