This Guy.

I'm so proud of this kid.  He has been the best child a parent could ask for since the day he was born.  We had not a clue how to be parents when he was born.  We just figured it out as we went.  You know, "fake it til you make it".  Somehow despite our lack of parenting skills, Trey has turned out to be an awesome young man.  I just have to share this story.
He has been mentioning that he needs some new shoes.  We've been putting him off.  Unless your toes are showing new shoes don't really fit into the adoption budget at this point  Anyway, at a youth rally he recently won $100. 
When he came home and told us he won the money I said, "Great!  Now you can buy yourself some new shoes."  But no, he had already thought about it.  He had already decided to GIVE THE MONEY AWAY.  His small group is raising money for a clean water project and he gave it ALL to their fund.   Trey doesn't get alot of extra "wants".  None of our kids do, so for him to make that decision is so impressive to me.  He said, "Mom, when I thought about it I realized I have shoes, I may not like them alot, but I HAVE shoes.  There are people who do NOT have clean water."  They need water more than I want shoes."
Dear Lord, Please help me be more like my son every day.

The photo was taken as we got in the car to head to his small group.  He never had a second thought about his decision.  He smiled all the way there.
