My boy turned 15 last week. Yikes! Sometimes I just want to press pause on life so I can catch my breath…

Last Saturday Dec. 8, the day before his actual birthday, we had a man-party. He invited two friends and two dads (though one dad couldn’t make it), and one friend’s younger brother to come and play some very serious, very manly PAINTBALL.

Kerry, who came for just a bit to take some photos, said later it was ‘cute’ seeing the ‘boy’ come out the man as we tried to pummel each other with hard, stinging balls of paint. But I can assure you, there was nothing cute about it. This was serious business. I still have the bruises to prove it.

After 3 rounds of Capture the Flag paintball, we came back to the house and had a “man-braai (braai is SA for BBQ),” where I flame-grilled copious amounts of South African-style farmer sausage and we served them up on rolls. After consuming a pile of watermelon (just come in season), we spent some time blessing Jeremy – pointing out ways he is growing and developing into the man God wants him to be, and encouraging him to continue striving after God. I told him I’ve seen grown men who are still living to earn their father’s approval, that I am very proud of who his is and who he is becoming, and that actually I want him to live for his Heavenly Father’s approval. It was a great supper together – finished off with homemade carrot cake I’d made the day before!

About 7 months ago, Jeremy picked up Kerry’s acoustic guitar – and hasn’t put it down since! He’s taught himself how to play worship music – the chords, the strumming, the feel – and now he’s playing on my band!

Early next year, we plan to enroll him in guitar lessons, which Jeremy has been asking for and is looking forward to. Stay tuned!
