I love Timothy!
To be totally real for a moment, let me explain that this little guy was the one who sent me into my frantic praying yesterday. This little guy is why 1 Corinthians 13 came to mind during my time of prayer. And this little guy is making me CRAZY. I don't understand the way his brain works. I don't understand his words (or lack of words!). I don't understand his actions. I don't understand what motivates him. I don't understand his heart or how to discipline and get to his heart.
At first Curtis and I decided it was just a phase. We have now decided that this is not a phase but rather a steamy hot mess.
I'm struggling with how to show Timothy Christ, the gospel and grace. And then 1 Corinthians came to mind. Love is patient, kind and not easily irritated.
Of course I love Timothy! But now the challenge is to show him my love even when he's being unlovable.
So happy birthday, Timothy! I hope this year that I will be able to show you how much a love you, even when you're making me crazy.
