Raising Micah


What did we do with our time before we had Micah? Michael and I often ask ourselves this question. We were married for 8 years before he made his appearance last year, and we enjoyed those 8 years together serving in ministry, growing together, going on trips, numerous date nights, walks around the neighborhood, dinners with friends/family, game nights, and what not. And while we were very blessed and content with where God had us then, as just a couple, it's hard now to imagine life without that sweet smile, adorable laughter, and yes, even the crying fits. While I'm thankful for the 8 years that God gave to us as a couple to grow and strengthen our marriage, I'm so thankful that we have Micah to share this journey with now. Even as I'm typing, he's pushing a box around, picking it up and walking around with it, and sitting down beating on it like a drum...all while smiling and laughing. It makes my heart melt! He has brought so much joy to our lives and while he may cause me to have some sleepless nights, throw fits when he doesn't get his way (that's his new thing right now), and be clingy at times....I would not change a thing. I'm so thankful that God allowed us this blessing of parenthood and pray that we will honor and glory God through raising Micah.
