Be still my heart. My son Nathan is a senior! The last couple of years has really held a lot of change for the Daggett household. Madison graduated, moved out, got engaged, and then got married. Now, Nathan is a senior. As I said before, be still my heart.
I thought I would share some wonderful photos my sweet friend, Shannan, took of my bubba. In my heart, he is still my baby boy. However, it is plain to see he is anything but a baby when I look at these pictures. What a handsome young man!
“Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6, KJV
A few times on the shoot, Shannan was taken aback by how much Nathan looked or sounded like Carl. No denying Carl’s paternity on this kid!
Nathan is always thinking about his future and making plans of what he is going to do for a career. He is a natural leader and could sell an ice cube to an Eskimo. With God at his side, I know he will succeed at whatever he does.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11, NIV
I wait in anticipation for what is in store for Nathan this year and beyond. As with any race, I will be praying that he will continue to run the race set before him with his school, work, and beyond. Boy, oh boy, do I love this boy!
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12, NIV
I’ll never forget watching our boys sitting on their father’s laps as little ones. They each got their own mini-me. 🙂
It’s been an incredible pleasure to watch our boys grow into men and begin to make their own way in the world. We have a lot to be grateful for!!
Shannon-thanks for always being there for me to give sound advice as well. We do have so much to be grateful for!
I love these pictures and the scripture around them. Nate has always taken the time to give both Dave and I a smile or stopped to visit. He is a special young man and we are thankful for his sweet and giving spirit!!!!
Mim-Thank you for your kind words. He enjoys you all as well, but what is there not to love? 🙂 God Bless!
