For some reason this time of year when I know I am about to celebrate Addison's birthday it always makes my eyes get teary. He will be 11 in a few weeks, taller than I, amazing in school, willing to help and my list could go on....but he is a boy and a growing boy. I happened upon a blog tonight of the husband of a friend I grew up with. He had just had a conversation with his daughter who is much younger than Addison about sex. He had also shared about his young heart and life and the struggles that boys and men face. My heart ached....I know there have always been struggles out there no matter if it was twenty five years ago or now. He talked about his exposure to things at a very young age, and that his "christian school and church" involvment was just a "cover" for the intense temptations. I want my son to choose wisely, I pleaded tonight that his mind and heart will be protected and that we will be used to mold that wisely. This may have made no sense....just a rambling from me...the mom to a pre-teen boy who is on her knees asking to be interceded for.
