This is a note to an awesome, young man who left a mark on my heart Wednesday night at our family service at Destiny Church…
Hey Big Guy,
Remember at church when I told you make sure you had your mom and dad check my blog? I told you, "There's someone I wanted you to see. Someone that I thought could do just about anything!" Well, here's a picture of that "someone". He's eight years old… Do you recognize the boy in the picture? He's the one I'm talking about… it's you!
When Pastor Jonathan gave the invitation for those who wanted to come to the front during worship, you were one of the first. Hundreds of people were at service, but I don't think you even noticed. You ran to the front where you clapped, you sang, and you lifted your hands in worship. Renae and I were so blessed to see a young man who is all about worship. You are a true warrior and worshiper… a young man after God's heart!
I know your mom and dad love you and are so proud of you, and your little brother looks up to you in a big way. But never forget that the world is looking for leaders. Leaders like you. Someone who will lead the way for God's people (no matter how old they are)… and last night at church you proved to this pastor you are definitely up for the job.
I'm proud of you Michael, with God on your side, there's nothing you can't do…
Big Blessings – Pastor Mike
P.S. Today is your third day out of school due to weather… make sure you and your brother pick up after yourselves, mind your parents, and watch out for biting microphones (inside joke). :-)
