proud sister

a few weeks ago my little brother stephen finished his eagle project, and it is awesome.

let me start out by telling you a little about stephen: as the youngest sykes child stephen could have easily just followed in doing things that his brother and sister had success doing when they were his age. instead stephen chose to be different. he pursued creativity and became an excellent worship leader, student, friend, and servant of the Lord. He grows everyday in so many ways, and I am humbled and proud to be his sister.

stephen worked tirelessly during his hectic junior year: he carefully designed a bridge, raised money for the project, lead a team during workdays, and worked hard until he finished. as jonathan sykes (who is also pretty awesome) claims:

"Only a nuke would take that thing down."
