Why does this feel like the first thing in many things to come in letting him go? A recognition, words of counsel to send him on his way and walking away. It hurts. It's exciting. It's only by the strength of the Lord that I know I can face it. If I have quoted Phil 4:13 once this week, I've quoted it a hundred times. Thank you, Lord, for Your Word.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Joshua playing football. Thank you for bearing with my Mama's heart during this post.
This is Joshua and baby Jason. He is one of the most affectionate young men I know at this age.
This is one of my favorite pics. Each time before kickoff, the players hold their helmets high!
Joshua is always humble and stays around to visit with his family and take pictures.
In front of everyone, this young man will still kiss his Mama. He does not care about the cool factor...never has. He would much rather be pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
These are both my children. Joshua loves his older sister, Krystle, and she enjoyed coming to watch her younger brother play.
Nice hands!
Getting ready in the huddle!
A look of determination. Focus. And still so handsome...be still my heart.
A practice catch before the game....so intent on doing it right.

Oh Debra, no wonder you are so proud of your son. What a rare and godly example he is. It warms my heart to see that this next generation has people like your Joshua to lead others to Christ. He lives out his faith before others. He can't help but share the love of Jesus to all. I love that his sister Krystle enjoys watching him too and how he loves her so.
You come to mind often. I was glad to read on Facebook that you enjoyed your 30 year reunion. Gosh, do you know my 40 year is coming up in two years? Yikes, it goes by way too quickly.
love you,
Debbie
May your precious son always be greatly blessed, I love you.
I always enjoy the posts where you honor your son. I hope he is blessed in his game tonight. Thanks for sharing your Momma's heart at this special event.
Great pics! Love them all. I am so with you in this football season. We had senior appreciation night a couple of weekends ago. This Saturday is my son's last football game likely for the rest of his life. He recovered from his concussion enough to play. His mom is still nervous about it though. Blessings to you and your son and family! Hugs from one football mom to another!
Loved your pictures ~ You are all blessed to have each other. I know you are proud of him. Love and Hugs,
Cathy
Such a sweet post in honor of your son...your Mama's heart has every reason to shine and be proud....
WOW! Great photos, Debra! I always love the closeness that your family shares when I am looking at your pictures!
What an awesome post Debra...so heart felt. Our Sr. Night was a couple of Fridays ago and I know that it was a hard game, since it was their last home game and then they lost...
Great pics of his season.
Hope all is well,
xoxo, Stacey
Sweet Friend,
Your love for your son is written over every word. One of my favorite principles that I learned during my Bible Study Fellowship days was, "Obedience brings blessing." I have found this to be true in my life, as I know that you have. I know that son of yours will have blessing after blessing after blessing from the Lord!Rachel and I are cheering for him from Texas!!!! Many blessings to you and Josh from us!
