He was a handful and at 20 made a very unwise decision for his young life. That choice catapulted him into the military (Air Force) for three years... Dashed were his plans for University for a time.<br /><br />I was at a loss as to what to do or think. I could only pray.<br /><br />The years flew by. Then, one Spring morning he called and said "Mom...I've decided not to re-up. I've landed a job back in OKCity and I'm coming home". Newly out of school he landed a job at the very University he was wanting to attend.<br /><br />I was in shock. Totally blindsided by the simple fact that God had heard ALL the prayer I'd prayed over the previous 23 years. They were answered in His time.<br /><br />One recent Sunday while singing in church our son turned to me and said "Oh Mom! I remember you teaching Adrie and I this song when I was 10".<br /><br />WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....<br /><br />Don't Give Up is right!<br /><br />Love to you~RebeccaRebecca Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662129266792835433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-41952691155684409202010-03-23T08:29:47.315-07:002010-03-23T08:29:47.315-07:00Thank you for your kind visit. ~Happy Spring!~ :)Thank you for your kind visit. ~Happy Spring!~ :)Melissa Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112514946365838427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-18856915227767559202010-03-23T08:28:45.978-07:002010-03-23T08:28:45.978-07:00I checked for your updates regularly anyway, but I...I checked for your updates regularly anyway, but I'm very excited that they're automatically updating on my blogroll again!

I have always been moved by what she wrote and how she lived her life....Our families were good friends, and Billy phoned my dad and met to pray with him before his first crusade in Los Angeles. Our families always were always similar as we grew up. Both dads were ministers who traveled all over the world, and both moms stayed home and raised the kids.<br /><br />Anyway, enough on that... get back to the piano!! :)<br /><br />I have a hunch we are kindred spirits!<br /><br />Sonjahttp://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-59618490928790402852010-03-22T10:17:09.058-07:002010-03-22T10:17:09.058-07:00Hello, I too have a senior boy at home.
