He was to come over for breakfast, birthday, and now, just because he rocks!
In three weeks time, Austin has done a 180. Stuck in a dead-end landscaping job, we have been praying for him to get a “career” type of job going; but most everything requires a high school diploma.
Obtaining his GED would be a challenge since he worked so much, he was not able to do all of the arranging, and he had a limited time to complete it in order to make the deadline into the GCU Electrician Apprentice program.
BUT GUESS WHAT? He powered through, and on the week of his 25th birthday, he finished all of his tests, passed, and started at GCU. WOW! Talk about perseverance.
Well, today, we celebrate.
He came by and was blown away!
I made a sausage, potato, butternut squash, kale quiche and a coconut flour iced lemon bread. First, we prayed for the meal, and then dished it up.
Austin talked the whole time about his classes, and not how he is set on getting A’s. Also, he read his goals to us:
“I want to graduate with A’s, have a full time job, be married with. kids…and start my own company.” He had it all laid out! True ambition after being lacking of this for so long. Doug couldn’t be more happy as he has waited 10 years (PRAYING) for a change of heart for Austin. Who could have imagined he’d be at GCU now!?
WE can’t wait to see what God has in store for you sweet boy.
