Just wanted to share that one year ago today Ryder got saved. Hallelujah! He's had to endure a lot more trials and heartaches than some kids his age. But God is faithful. Ryder made a profession several years ago but never felt settled about it. One of the most heartbreaking things a parent can do is watch their child go through this. You feel absolutely helpless. All we can do is leave it in God's hands. I don't know why that's so hard to do. I guess because I want to fix everything. It was at youth meeting at our church. Bro. Dustin Bonham was preaching and during invitation Ryder went forward. This time he got it settled. Thank the Lord for the growth and change I see in Him. No he ain't perfect. He's still a kid. He's a teenage boy. But when you have the Holy Spirit living on the inside you become different on the outside. I thank God for that. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 So very thankful for my son and the fine handsome young man he has become and I sure do love him. God is good.

You are very blessed! He is such a sweet and kind young man. And I have so very much enjoyed his playing guitar along with the music at church. He is doing so well. I can tell such a difference in just a short time. The Lord is really blessing him. It thrills me to see him using his talents for the Lord.
Thank you Mrs. Tammy. Your words mean so much to me...such an encouragement you are to us :)
Love this boy! Daddy and I truly believe God has great things in store for him!
Me too, Mom...I hope I get to see all the plans God has in store for all my children.
