Halfway to 30!

I feel honored to be a mom. I know that God has blessed me four times over. It amazes me how time seems to fly by when looking at my children. Jacob turned 15 on Saturday, September 11th.

15!!!

I often wonder how I can be a mom of a 15 year old. Wasn't I just 15 a few years ago? Okay, maybe not, when I think about the fact that my oldest son is halfway to 30, I get a bit freaked out.

Jacob is a treasure. He has taught me so much about life. So many thing changed for me in a positive way when he came into my life. Because of him I have learned how to love unconditionally. I no longer focus on myself, but most importantly on loving God and truly loving others. I have learned and become passionate for people with exceptional needs.

Jacob makes me laugh.
Jacob has a great passion for God.
Jacob fights hard every day to overcome many challenges.
Jacob looks out for his brother and sisters.

I could go on and on...

I am grateful for my loving 15 year old!

I know it sounds insane that way, but after I said it once, I realized how crazy it is that I have a 15 year old. The day before Jacob's birthday Heidi's hubby, Brandon, turned 35. On his cake was "Halfway to 70". That was sobering for me. I don't really feel old, but when you think if it that way it just sounds crazy.
