Today we celebrate our son’s 22nd birthday, and this year marks the beginning of an incredible new chapter in his life. our son has stepped into the world of military service, completing Basic Combat Training (BCT) as a Distinguished Honor graduate and Advanced Individual Training (AIT) with high honors. His dedication, discipline, and drive inspire me and everyone who knows him.
Watching our son take on these challenges has been a reminder of God’s faithfulness and strength in his life. He’s shown courage and determination, trusting God to guide him as he steps into his role as a 13 Bravo in the National Guard.
As a parent, there’s no greater joy than seeing your child thrive in their calling. My prayer for our son is that he continues to walk boldly in the purpose God has for him, trusting that the Lord is always with him, even in the toughest moments.
