Today I have seen a different side of my son. I am always proud of Thomas but today my proud feelings shoot through the roof.

This morning he did not get the news he was hoping for regarding schools next year, but he has been ringing friends and congratulating them! He was a little upset to start with but then remembered that he had asked God to sort out the best school for him and send him to the school where God wanted to use him. I find that quite exciting.

I know I am biased but I am convinced that God has a big plan for Tom. He has so many gifts at just 11 and he has a great desire to tell others about Jesus. I’m not surprised, all of our children are gifts from God and when we were waiting for Tom to arrive we prayed that God would bless him with gifts of evangelism – and he has!

I’m proud of you mate and love you loads!
