Almost 7!

This little guy is turning 7 on Friday. We are celebrating today because Justin and Sara are leaving tomorrow to visit some partners in Asia. Andrew is such a love bug. He is constantly cuddling me and picking me flowers and telling me he is never getting married but living with me for his entire life. Oh how I hope that is true because I love this little one so fiercely! He is a dream child. He obeys me consistently, he puts others first, he looks for ways to help me, and he loves to pray and talk about deep things of God. Because of how we do prayer time at our meals, Andrew is always the first to pray. I love listening to him pray. 
The time we love the most is our cuddle time at night. We read our favorite books together. Since we moved to Kazakhstan we have had a small selection of books to read at night. Instead of this being a terrible thing, which I thought it would be, we have really bonded over reading through the same books over and over again. He doesn’t mind at all and we have deep conversations about these books. They have become very special to us. One book called “The Little Eskimo” was my dad’s and has my dad’s name written in it in kindergarten handwriting!
Everyday with my boy is a gift from the Lord and I love him so much. I pray he will grow to be a strong man of God and continue to pray and worship Him. 
Although I am so sad he is growing older, it is an honor to be his mom and watch him grow. I love this boy with all my heart!
