2011 Prom

How did this happen? My boys have grown up and are going to the PROM!! Let me just tell you, "This is painful!" and I just can't get used to the idea of them wanting to escort a girl to the prom. But that is where we are at!

This past Saturday was my boys' first prom and first official date. It could have been more painful, if they were in the states they would be driving a date!! I really like that we have a built in chaperon in Songkran, our driver! Logistics make the whole idea of dating a little different here. The driver took the boys and picked up the girls to take them to a nearby hotel where the prom was being held from 6:30-10:00, we were thankful that both girls' parents picked them up at the end of the event.

Nathan escorted Jasmine from Australia to this year's prom and Dustin asked Valerie from Holland to be his date. In fact Valerie and her family will be moving at this end of this school year to Qatar, her Dad works for Shell. Jasmine's family just moved here in January and her Dad works for GM.

Please pray for me as I adjust to this new stage of raising boys but especially pray that Nathan and Dustin will be young men after God's own heart. That they wouldn't be conformed to this world but transformed by the renewing of their mind. Pray that I will trust the Lord to do a good work in their hearts. I'm praying they will fall helplessly in love with the Lord before they fall helplessly in love with a girl!!! Pray that God will help me be a better Mom, that the Lord would give us wisdom generously and that God can somehow use me in their lives despite myself!!! Pray that I can just enjoy this new stage with my boys.
