He Got It--Now what

Ok-- It was like a light-bulb, and now Connor is programming madly in HTML. Darn. I was hoping to really challenge him and find something he COULDN'T do well, because, honestly, don't we all learn the most when we can't do something? Now, he's totally got this college level computer course mastered, and I have go find something else really hard for him to learn. Sometimes I hate it that my kids are so demanding. It would be so much easier to have average and normal kids who are not going to actually change the world someday. Ok--Who am I kidding? I'm STILL working to change the world myself. I just know in my heart that one of our foster children, or one of our exchange students, or one of the kids we adopt, will make the world a better place.I really expect nothing less. And they know it too. Yep, it's a pain in the butt sometimes, but they know they are supposed to do something FABULOUS and leave their mark on this world.We parents just have to support them in their endeavors and wait for them to find their purpose or calling. Although Connor will probably change his mind about becoming a Priest, he clearly knows that he needs to "Be the change you want to see in the world." (Ghandi)
