As a mom, I have always wanted the best of everything for my children. I saw their talents, their strengths, their flaws, and their weaknesses. Max & Wesley are both each so special in their own ways, and of course, I love them both equally. I would be proud and encouraging no matter what vocation they chose, no matter where they ended up on life's road.
In the last couple of years, I have really noticed God setting Wesley apart for ministry. That is just where his heart is, in helping people. And he has an incredibly deep faith and knowledge of Gods Word, way beyond his 15 years. I cannot describe with enough words how much God is working in him and how God has been using him. God draws Wesley to places many of us have never wanted to go - missions trips, all night prayer groups, and more. I know any of you that know him will agree that God has set him apart for big works for the Kingdom.
Max always went his own way, and never planned to go into ministry. He had his own plans, to be a blessing in the world through music education and a family man. I was talking with Wesley earlier today about how sad I was that 18 years was all Max had to become the man he became. But tonight, God hit me between the eyes with a lightbulb "AHA" moment. GOD SET MAX APART FOR BIG WORKS FOR THE KINGDOM TOO, but it came through his physical death.
I have been witness to the awesome power God has unleashed in the community of family and friends, doing things that would have NEVER come about had this tragedy not hit our family. I probably cannot even SEE with my human eyes all that can be seen in the heavenly realms of the seeds that have been planted, the lives that have been changed, during this time.
