As many of you know, Hunter has had a rough few weeks (and us for that matter). He goes through cycles of "doing good" and "not so good" in regards to his attitude, behavior, and overall well-being. This is due to his diagnosis of ADHD and "mood disorder". We have great friends, family, and doctors though, who keep us in their prayers, and help us through these rough times by 1) encouraging us to stay strong and consistent, 2) giving us advice/ideas on how to deal with different situations that come up, and 3)just praying for us as we continue to do the best we can in raising him up to be a godly, obedient, respectful boy. It's definitely a trying thing for us, but we know God gave us Hunter for a reason...He "picked" us to be his parents/family for a reason, and we are so grateful for that. We love him so much.
Last Sunday, we received a word from our pastor about Hunter. He said:
"God is doing something in and with Hunter...I have a strong, strong burden and belief that a mighty touch on his life is one of a few catalysts that will bring an amazing renewal and move of God...it is just deep in my spirit and it won't go away...I am waiting with great anticipation to see him healed...I say that with great reverence...it is not loose speech...I am convinced something amazing is going to happen..."
Of course this has given us new hope and excitement. We will continue to do all we know to do for/with Hunter, and anticipate great and wonderful things for him as we seek God's wisdom in raising him! We thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, and concerns for us. We treasure you all.....
On another note, Hunter has started playing basketball! It's a program called "Upward Sports". They focus on positive reinforcement, and teach Christian values to the kids. He has a game every Saturday, and practices every Tuesday night. He seems to enjoy it, and we are so excited he has a place to go, exercise, feel supported, and have fun too. :)
