Happy Birthday to Ryker

This is Ryker minutes after his first birth on October 23, 2008.
This is Ryker a couple of days after his spiritual birth on February 4, 2015. For weeks he had been talking about his heart and wanting to give it to Jesus. Then, as we prayed before bed on Wednesday night, he told us that he wanted to give his heart to Jesus. He told us he understood that he had sin in it and that Jesus was the only one Who could forgive him. He said he wanted to give his heart to Him and live in heaven forever. So, we prayed. He was so excited that he wanted to call and tell all of his close friends and teachers and Grandma and Grammy & Papaw. We are so grateful for everyone that has influenced him to make this decision and for those that have modeled and taught him about our wonderful Lord and Savior. More over, we are so thankful that God has called him and that He has shown him unfailing love and amazing grace, that He has a purpose and plan for Ryker and that He will guide him as he begins his new life as a believer in Christ. The angels are throwing a party for him in heaven. We celebrate, too! Woo hoo! Happy Birthday to our Ryker!
