our-little-kingdom:(Edward’s POV)It’s truly shocking to be at this place in my journey as a man, husband, and father. Von rang in his18th birthday by signing on to play for the SBA. He’ll be starting with the Willow Creek Warriors as a point guard. He has trained so hard and worked so hard to be noticed by scouts, and I applaud his bravery in skipping the conventional path of college and going right for his dreams.When a young man finds a woman to direct his path, it is a good, good thing, and I’m encouraged by the heart of Von’s young lady, Rachel Nichols. Rachel was on the board of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes alongside Von and through working closely and with God by their side, these two have formed a perfect team to walk through Von’s new career.As for Caleb, he declined to join us for this picture celebrating his brother, but he will be taking his own next steps at the Del Sol Institute of the Arts. I’m incredibly proud of him as well.Diverting slightly, one of Jordyn’s sons, James has been struggling a bit lately. God doesn’t call on men to be content quite in the way He asks women to be, but they should still be focused on the greatest purpose one of His men could achieve; to be a provider! However, James has expressed little to no interest in courtship, in Bible Study, or other Godly pursuits as he navigates the midst of his teen years. When Jordyn and I talk to him about his career interests or what God is directing him to do, he constantly brings up travelling. So, as a means to both satisfy this desire in his heart and maybe direct his heart toward some less wordly friends and relationships, we’ve decided to send him alone on a teen mission trip to Windenburg. Although we don’t attend the Megachurch of the Watcher here in Oasis Springs, they were more than happy to accept James as they had seen our show and loved how much we display our love for the Lord. So, hopefully, we’ll get some awesome pictures of him and he’ll come back with a changed heart! -- source link
