Blessing #3: Another October Birthday Celebration

October is a busy birthday month around the Pool household. However today's celebration was slightly different. Two years ago on 10-10-11, our oldest and only son, John Mark prayed to receive Christ as his personal lord and Savior. So today we celebrated a different type of "birth" day!!!

We are so proud of this decision our son made and want to help him celebrate it year after year. We talked a lot about his Christian faith today, some of things he believes, and questions that He has. It is exciting to watch him grow in his walk. 

On the kids birthdays, I usually interview them about things they like so we can see how they change each year. I decided to try to do something similar with John Mark today. Below was some of his answers. 

Favorite Bible Verse: Matthew 12:34 

Favorite Bible Story: Job

Favorite song: City on our knees 

Favorite Christian artist: Toby Mac (I don't see this one changing anytime soon)

He also said he wanted to be a preacher when he grows up although astronaut made the list too!!!

I asked him what were his plans to grow deeper this next year? He quickly replied that he had to go to church camp!!!  

We love this boy!!!  Can't wait to have additional "birth" days to celebrate at our house!
