Smart Boy, Fun Boy

Just an update to let you know that Alexander is doing very well in school at West Alabama Christian! We are so pleased with his teacher, Mrs. Toya. She really is a natural! The curriculum is so advanced and strong and he is moving right along! It is wonderful to hear him memorizing God's Word so early...a treasure to hide in his heart for sure! When he is at school, he is a hard worker and very serious about his studies, breezing through first grade readers quickly, while staying on a Kindergarten level otherwise for a strong review!


When he gets home, it is so nice to see him let the serious face go and take on a grin and a heart that loves fun! I miss him when he is away all day for the first time, but we take on some great fun when he gets home in the afternoons! He has such a fun spirit and a contagious laugh, full of life!


Our prayer for Alexander at this stage of life is that he will live a full and abundant life and learn to be centered in Christ. We pray daily for his salvation and are warmed to hear him talk of things of God so young. We know God is shaping his heart even now. He has memorized two verses at school already and is working on a 3rd this week. We talk about what they mean and he seems to be catching on to the fact that God is REAL! He got a child's reader Bible in the Message translation and he is reading it each day and is excited about it! Next Sunday night, he starts a new class at church called Bible Skills, Drills and Thrills, where he will be memorizing additional verses, learning the books of the Bible and learning to use the Bible! Life is exciting at five and we hope he will keep his zeal for years to come! Pray that with us, please!
