I Wanna be Like...Quinn!

Do you remember the old Gatorade commercial featuring Michael Jordan w/ the catchy tune "I Wanna be Like Mike"? Well, lately I find myself wanting to be more like my six year old son.
Last week Steve talked about his grandson asking Jesus into his heart, and how now that he has the Holy Spirit living inside of him, he can begin to grow and mature as a believer. We have seen this so evident in Quinn's life. Our prayer for him has been that he would be like Samuel (Quinn's middle name) of the Old Testament. Samuel heard and knew God's voice, and was obedient. Quinn is very sensitive to things of the Spirit and hungers as much as a six year old can to know God's Word and see God answer prayer. We want God to be huge to our children. NOTHING is impossible with Him!
I've also recently watched Quinn face a new obstacle in his life...Playing coaches pitch baseball w/ his restricted eyesight. Even after some difficult initial practices, he has been very determined to not give up. Let's just say I was mighty proud when he hit the first pitch at his game the other night. He has the time of his life, and his biggest concern after the game is not who won, but what the team snack is.
Hunger for God's Word...unwavering, simple trust...determination...Life to the full. I wanna be like Quinn.
