This has been Jadon’s phrase he has been learning this past week in school.  He has really taking it to heart.  I overheard him today say “Grandma, you know what?  I don’t quit; I persevere.”  I couldn’t help but smile as I see God working in his life.

Today was a big day!  He read his first book!  I loved watching his proud face, as he asked “Esther, do you want me to read this book to you?”  Later in the evening, same face as he read his book to his Daddy over FaceTime.  Very proud of his perseverance.

Jadon started coach pitch baseball this spring.  Excitement is an understatement.  He has had a little set back though in batting, fingers got in the way.  Which resulted in being very timid.  We have been praying for courage and perseverance.  Today Jadon persevered.  He took some swings and made contact!  It was awesome watching his confidence come back!  I hope and pray that will continue to grow this season.

Jadon, don’t quit; continue to persevere.  Not only in school and sports, but more importantly in your walk with the LORD.
