Thank you for being a helpful fellow

God's Boys will be good boys! I am grateful to see some of the glimpses of smiles, erupting from the darkness. God can carry us through the dark times. He is with us, when we cannot smile or laugh and he is with us when all is smiles and gaffaws. I can't wait to see God grow you into His man, who can laugh and cry with the same consistency and integrity. Love you. Sometimes the difficulty of slurred speech draws out a dependence on God to speak through you that can come in no other way. I am not sure that this is what Moses was praying when He gave his tongue to God, as a reason, he couldn't talk for himself. I do pray that your articulation and exposure to the abilities of speech will not puff you up to others whose tongues are not as articulate. I see you attempting not to use your strong man voice and scare us. I see you experimenting with projection and how much projection commands the attention of your brothers and sister. I see them look at you with that look of tremendous respect and fear that I had from my siblings. What a power that is. What a trust that God gives you when your parents and siblings look at you when you speak with expectation of something that makes sense. It should make you pray, not to be an embarrassment of that expectation. It should make you ask God for good direction to give them as they look at you like that. God will do that, Only as much as you take the baton from the elders before you. We think that because we can see the top of the mountain that we have vision. That vision is a trust. God intends for you to use it to His glory. There are pitfalls and triumphs and I pray for God to give you wisdom. Surely, there is much of the labor of your elders, in spirit and in culture that is noteworthy and much that is folly. It is the job of the Man of God to be discerning. To respectfully toss aside that part of the spiritual inheritance that is folly and to put to good use that which is for the glory of God. May God give you true wisdom and humility to see the true gold from the false, In Jesus' precious and faithful name. Amen.
