That is precious time! <br />Here's my thought on sweet Cole, maybe this strong will and curious nature are going to be the strongest part of him staying OUT of trouble in the future. He won't bend to peer pressure and hopefully his passionate personality will be seized by the Lord and just imagine all of that energy put to His use! I too was a strong personality and I'm sure I caused my share of grief for my parents, but it also was what drove me to where I am today. Granted I am not as useful to the Lord as I would like to be and I'm pretty sure that is from my other characteristic- laziness, but sweet Cole has a family that fears the Lord and is diligent to pray on his behalf. <br />Stay strong Steph, you know Cole will :)auntkaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919862198845994254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949420559424597435.post-35311734180068761582010-01-05T20:16:50.782-08:002010-01-05T20:16:50.782-08:00h man....you are describing to a tee my littlest l...h man....you are describing to a tee my littlest little toot :) Very similar to his big brother (although, I think I would say J is even more of a handful than C was...hard to believe I know :) We all forget to stop and play sometimes and so I am glad you realized it. Kudos to ya' for spending the day playing. I don't think you need to feel guilty about trying to shape Cole's character. You won't change the way God designed him, you will just help him to understand how to use it to God's glory someday and not down a path that he shouldn't go. When I look at J sometime and he is just so stinkin' cute I forget that inside him is a sinful heart. So, when I tell him specifically to stop doing something and he looks at me, scrinches up his nose (looking all cute and innocent) and does directly what I told him not to do, I have to make myself not laugh and get to changing his heart (easier said than done, for sure).<br /><br />Love ya Steph..you're a great mama.

Him not getting into MDO is totally God's hand at work! It's neat to see how God can turn a bum thing into a great time for you and Cole both!
