Thoughts for Matthew

I was listening to the radio a few weeks ago and heard a song that I immediately began to adopt as my hope for Matthew. Of course, I tear up whenever I hear it, I blame that on the hormones. Music has always helped me focus my thoughts and been able to articulate things for me that many times I never would have been able to think of the words. I've used this song as an outline for when we pray for Matthew and his future...he's going to be a great kid.

"The Words I Would Say"
Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know.
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray.

Matthew, we've got big plans for you and you have already been a fighter and overcome obstacles. We look forward to meeting you and helping you find your potential in 36 more days.
