🎉I can’t believe I am saying this but it’s official, Matt’s a teen🎉 Happy 13th Birthday to Matt!🥳

Today Matt got a card from a good friend. In the card his friend gave him advice about being a teen. He told Matt the most important thing is to keep being himself. And if he finds himself not being able to be himself around others, they probably aren’t the right friends for him.

I loved that advice and thought it wasn’t just relevant for Matt, but for all of us.

I pray Matt takes these wise words, and we do too, to heart, so that we live fully, and freely as the person God made us to be. And Matt continues to be the fun-loving, adventurous, creative, thoughtful, witty old soul he is.

With love and hope,
Shawn
