I want to concentrate on my son real quick – There will be lots more to come, I have big plans for this blog and lots more to say but I want to start with this – I am raising a WORLD CHANGER. 
Right now, William’s hands are so much smaller than mine, but soon, they will be much bigger. I want William to realize that both of his own two hands (and his words) can impact the world. He can use his hands to build people up instead of tearing people down – he can use them to pick up a friend off the ground, to work hard and earn a living, to play, to change the world for good, to show God’s love, to write, to dream, to do SO MUCH. I just can’t imagine the potential I have to help my son realize his potential. I hope I can be a good example! Since we are only seven months in parenting this sweet boy, I know almost nothing.. I rely on so many people for wisdom and knowledge on how to raise a child and how to raise this child into a man. I have so many hopes and dreams for him and I desperately want him to know that I will love him, no matter what and more importantly, that God loves him deeply. Right now it’s all about feeding him, getting him to sleep and changing his diapers, but soon, it will be all about training him to be a great boy and eventually a great man. It’s a huge undertaking and one that Ryan and I did not take on lightly. We understand raising a child is HARD WORK but we are up to the task. We can’t wait to see what kind of impact William Terry Boettcher is going to have on the world.
Here’s to raising great children who know they are deeply loved.
