“Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!” —Nehemiah 4:14
Yvonne: My son is my firstborn (he has a sister 2 years younger). I remember as if it were yesterday when I was in the hospital when he was born, I woke up the first night he was sleeping in his cot next to me, and I heard a baby crying. It took me a while to realize that it was my son crying, and I got up and stood next to his little crib, and I remember saying to myself: "Well, what do I do now?"
In that moment, the full realization of who this little baby was that I was responsible for, hit me like a ton of bricks. At that time, I was not a Christian yet, but still looking back, I could see his Heavenly Father protecting him and teaching me how to take care of our precious little son.
Now, years later, he is a teenage boy, and I want to thank my Husband for my wonderful son whom I have had the wonderful privilege and pleasure of homeschooling the last 5 years. Here are some praises I wrote about him for you to get to know him too.

My Husband—the Best Father My Children Will Ever Know
He is Changing My Son and Preparing Him for the Future
Adina: My son (Joshua) is my second child; he is 3 years younger than my daughter. I got married at 35 and after my daughter was born, I was adamant that I only want one child, but after my daughter (Elaine) turned two, He placed the desire in my heart to have a second child. And today my son is such a huge blessing in my life, he is always ready to give me a hug and a kiss and to just say: "I love you mommy."
I am amazed to see how Joshua is growing up, I remember while he was playing an online game with one of his friends, Joshua started to tell his friend that he needs to pray and just talk to the Lord, his Heavenly Father. Joshua is also the one that always prays when we do our evening Bible reading, and it always touches my heart to hear him talk to his Heavenly Father. He is also my little helper, when I need something to be put together or fixed, he is always there to help me.
I am also privileged to homeschool my children now, and Joshua is flourishing. He is also a huge soccer fan and recently started soccer lessons which he really enjoys.
Jewel: My son (Jaden) is my greatest blessing in life. I remember when I was like 7 months pregnant I felt some strong contractions and I was frighthened, and I said to my son,in my belly; "hey it´s not time yet so, you stay there until its the right time!" 😊 I asked my Lord for health and I remember telling Him, I´d do my best to raise my boy in his road, and his way, the right and best way I know about.
It has been eleven years since then, and now I have a tall-handsome and sweet boy that hugs and kisses me more than I can count daily (my Heavenly Husband through him) out of pure love, asking nothing in return. He is taking piano classes, likes to play "handball" and video games and enjoys singing on the children´s choir of the church I grew-up in, and go around singing to the elders to give encouragement.
The road has been a bit rocky because, he also is on a restoration journey, but at every step my Heavenly Husband has shown that HE was, is and will be right here with us, being his Heavenly Father.
