A week ago, my brother Jordan, started middle school… yup! Middle School! And I still can’t believe how time is just flying by… I mean, wasn’t he just a baby like last week??? Okay, fine… it’s been almost 12 years ago when God blessed my family with Jordan… and yet, to me, he’s still my baby brother…
I was searching for church music mp3’s to upload on to my iphone when I happenned to stumble upon a recording of my brother Jordan and my sister Janice. I remember I had Ryan convert the recording to an mp3 because it was on a cassette tape and I wanted to make sure I preserved this recording… I had forgotten all about it until last week. This recording was done probably before Jordan was suppose to go to bed. I remember when Jordan was between the ages of 3-5 my sister and I would tape record him singing songs like nursery rhymes he learned by watching Sesame Street. Now, I’m glad we did! These recordings are sooo precious! Having this recording of baby Jordan singing church hymns is just so much more special to share… He may not have known ALL the words, back then, but at least he knew the important words to the music, like “Our God Is Love”!
If you’re a parent, be sure to document your kids either with video, tape recordings, and take lots of pictures of them! If you’re an older sibling with baby brothers/sisters, do the same! Kids really do grow up sooooooo fast! Ryan and I don’t have kids yet, but we’ve brought up and have cared for baby nieces, baby nephews, and a baby brother.. we know how important it is to document children while they are still young. Most importantly, we know how necessary it is to teach children about faith, hope, love, as well as worshipping, serving, and praising our Almighty God.
Here’s a picture of Jordan taken in 2007. He’s so much more taller than me now…
