I don't know how amazed others are, but as a mom, I am extremely impressed. Brandon, weighing in at 148.4 lbs, came in 2nd place for his weight class in the powerlifting meet on Saturday. His weights were 195 on benchpress, 445 in the deadlift, and 385 in squat. Wow! If you are interested in seeing him in action hop on over to
Coach Tullous' webpage and follow it to the 2009 powerlifting meet on the left side of the page. It is a great video that I was thrilled to see since I wasn't able to be there. I was at a birthday party with Tia and of course neither of us had the camera, so this is the best I could do.
I hope he always remembers were his strength comes from and that he will continue to be blessed when he puts his strength in God. Psalms 84:5.
It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. 2 Sam. 22:33
Today was such a fun day to celebrate Brandon's graduation. It doesn't seem like it should already be time for this big event. We moved to our home the year he started first grade and I can't believe it has been 12 years. Our church had a beautiful service honoring all of the graduates and then we shared the day with family and friends. What a joy to share those special moments with so many. Now only a few more days and he will have the long awaited diploma and then get to enter the next stage of life. I am praying that all works out well so that a friend is able to skype graduation and we can actually watch it while we are on the other side of the world. We are praying for good internet at the graduation event and at our hotel. I am so thankful that a friend has offered to do this for us so that we don't have to miss anything. God is good and He hears the desires of our heart.
