15

 

Happy Birthday to our 15 year old! Colin is currently on a his way home from Ensenada, Mexico having helped build a house for a family in need. I can't wait to hear all about his trip and to hug my boy!

Colin is constantly on the go, whether he is going to or from soccer or hanging out with his friends, he is rarely still.

His great love is still soccer and he will spend another season playing MLSNext with his club team. His dedication to his sport and his passion is inspiring. He works very hard to stay at the level he plays at. It is no easy feat.

Colin is a great friend and a good brother...when he wants to be! He has a big group of friends who stay actively involved in each other's life. 

Colin is active in our church's youth group, especially his life group. Even if he has soccer training, he will still go late and tries to make every life group meeting. They are a great group of boys!

This summer, he chose to spend 3 weeks of his break to serve others. He worked in Detroit for a week, cleaning up yards, streets and school in the heart of Detroit. He is coming home from a week in Mexico, building houses for families who slept on dirt floors and in August he will head to middle school camp as a volunteer  and game coordinator. This was very much his decision and his choice to spend his rare free time. We are so proud of him.

Happy Birthday, Colin. We can't believe that you are 15! We are so proud of your determination and your commitment in all that you do. You work hard and it shows. We pray that the Lord guides your steps in the coming year. We are so excited to see what the Lord has in store for you.

Happiest of Birthdays, my boy. We love you so!
