Letter To Brody

Brent is apart of a group of men that have been studying together for 7 months to become strong Christian leaders; in their homes, communities, and congregations. I'm sure Brent thought the change in him during this strict study time would be immeasurable but honestly it's not. I can say with the utmost sincerity that my husband is one of the greatest leaders I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. And knowing him the way I do; I can't imagine a leader having a more genuine desire to do right. His assignment this month was to write a letter to his son; a letter that touched my heart and I wanted to share it with you.

Brody is doing great. Only 1 spell in 24 hours and he only desated in the 80's. Good Prayin Seth (and everyone else).

Dear Brody,

You have been everything your Mom and I prayed for. Many years before you were ever born your mom and I were in prayer for you. It is amazing to me that you have already been with us 12 weeks. You display so many of your mom’s characteristics and mine. Your movements and gentle demeanor show by no doubt that you are our Son. I love you more than I could have ever imagined and my hopes for you are endless.
It will be a great adventure to see what you become. I intend to make sure every day of your life is an adventure and I hope to show you all the joy in this life that God intends for you. It is not my desire to plan your life for you, I am anxious to see what your interest are, what will you enjoy, what will captivate you, what will you have natural talents in, what will you struggle with? So much remains to be seen.
There are a few things that I want to make sure you do have and they are as follows:
1) A deep respect and Love for your creator God.
2) A relationship and acceptance of your Lord and Savior Jesus
3) A hunger to get closer to them.
4) An obedience to Gods due to your love for him
5) A respect and love for your Mom
6) A respect for all women
7) A true friend to all you encounter
8) A pleasant personality
9) Self respect and a love for yourself
10) An intent to leave things better than you found them.
11) A true courage for all encounters knowing that God has you covered.

Brody as your life grows and you encounter many wonderful, and some not so wonderful opportunities I pray that you will seek God’s guidance and you will know without any doubt that you can approach your mom and me. It is my vow to always be accessible to you as your Mom and you are my #1 priority and will continue to be. I will always try to give you useful advice and try to aid in your ability to make good decisions. My goal is to empower you to become all that God intends for you, and assist you in overcoming any and all obstacles. I love you and know that you are a perfect gift from God.


Your Dad;

C. Brent Wilmoth
