Brian and I decided that on "big" birthdays we would celebrate our kids by having different people speak into their lives for that season. We ask a few guys to pray for Haynes, ask the Lord for words to encourage him, and then meet for an early breakfast and encourage him. Brian took everyone to an early breakfast at Ozzie's. Jake Bauer, Josh Waggoner, Brian Emery, Mike Billingsley, Justin LeBeau, Gerod Grigor, and David Burget came to celebrate Haynes. Brian did such a great job coordinating this, but forgot to get a picture:-) These men have all impacted Haynes life in a powerful way and it was so fun to hear them encourage Haynes.
My favorite part of the day was when Haynes came home. Brian had left for work and the boys were upstairs playing with some of their new birthday toys. Port started asking Haynes about where he went for breakfast, who came, and what they said...Haynes told him who came and where they went and Port was comparing who had come to his breakfast 2 years ago!! Then he asked about what the guys prayed over him and Haynes went through EVERY guy and told Port exactly what they had said. I love seeing these men pour into my son and him just soaking it all up!
We are expectant for big things from this tender warrior this year!
