On Little Dude Overcoming His Fears

So, we went to Busch Gardens to celebrate the end of my semester last weekend. The trip was beyond my wildest dreams. We had such a good time dispite a rocky start (Steph was in the throws of an attitude.) What made it really cool was being able to ride all the rides as a family. Tyler has FINALLY overcome his fear of rollercoasters. I was SO proud of him. He really heard what Drew said last week in church about worry and used this information to push himself. He had such a good time; loved everything that he did and can't wait to do it again.

As a mom, this means more to me than words can say. I know the feeling of having fears cripple you. I have lived with it my entire life. I also know how freeing it is to face them and overcome them. My heart knew what he was missing but I could not convince him to face it. My heart was breaking for him. Now, he is free and it EVERYONE feels good about it.
