Carter's economics and government teacher emailed this to us. Yes, I am in tears! Christian education has been such a blessing. If it means I drive an old clunker or work an extra shift or two, it is worth it to have teachers who love Jesus and love our kids.
As the year is starting to wind down, I just wanted you to know what an absolute pleasure it has been to have Carter as a student. I have enjoyed watching him lead his fellow students (and teachers) in worship every week. The fact that he can lead us into the throne room of Heaven with worship tells me that goes there often by himself. He cannot lead where he hasn't already been. Carter is a genuine, thoughtful, respectful, patient, kind and giving guy. As a teacher, it is my job to teach. But, Carter has done some teaching himself. Through him, I have learned that laughter really is the best medicine. I have learned that an inquiring mind is a growing one. He has shown those around him (and me) how important it is to be the person God created you to be. I pray that as he continues on his journey after T__, that he surrounds himself with godly and wise counsel. I pray that the relationship he has with you will remain a close one. I pray that Carter will always say "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." I pray that will walk justly, love mercy and continue walking humbly with his God. Thank you for sharing your son with me this year. It is a true testament to you as his parents. I can see that being obedient, loving parents who trust the Lord with His gifts has great return. Well done, mom and dad!
I look forward to hearing about Carter's adventures and how the Lord uses him to bring others in to His kingdom.
He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
