Rapping with my homeboy

Today was a first. A first concert for my son.
Toby Mac to be exact.
E is growing up.
I couldn't help but watch the teenagers in front of us and wonder what it will be like when he is one. I want him to know that being a Christian doesn't have to be boring. We need to enjoy life every once in awhile. I felt a little bit like a kid myself tonight "rocking out" to bands such as Reliant K, b.reith, family force 5 and of course, Toby Mac. Funny, I actually know some of the words too!
I had so much fun! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time! I really just wanted to sit and watch Ethan- watch his enjoyment in the evening. I remember enjoying watching my children's expressions at the circus or Elmo Live when they were seeing it for the first time. Watching my children take in new things is one of my greatest joys.

Although there are many firsts behind us, I realize there are many ahead for my growing boys. I hope I take the time to watch their faces.
I hope I stop to relish in those once in a lifetime moments.
I pray that raising my boys is more than reminding them to brush their teeth and fighting about getting homework done.
Life seems to blur out of focus when I'm stuck just taking care of daily chores.
It was nice to deter from the mondane and spend a whacked out evening with my son and his current love for rap music.
I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else!
