"Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him." - Psalm 127:3
Our sweet boy Micah this morning :)
Not really, I'm not really pregnant. But Micah really graduated, 8th grade that is. He's my baby boy, the youngest of our five sons. I am proud. I cheered loud and clapped when they called his name. (My phone died so I couldn't take any pictures) It's what proud moms do. Alice said I hurt her ears when I screamed his name with my hands cupped around my mouth. ;) He's my baby boy. I had to do it. My only boy left to cheer for and dream of him going to highschool and making it through to the end. His brothers didn't make it through high school for one reason or another. Instead, they got their GED's, started working, etc. So of course I am hopeful that he will go strong. I'm praying he does. He's tall and sweet and built like a football player. He says he's gonna play football. I can't wait! You bet, I'll be screaming for him on the sidelines. My big boy, baby boy, Micah, you can do it! I believe in you! All things through Christ who makes you strong. (Philippians 4:13) Keep believing. And never lose hope. I love you.
I just dropped Alice off at her friend, Brianna's house. Micah's cooling off playing video games. Hannah and Lera are still in school. I enjoyed a dip in the pool, earlier, because Micah's graduation was hot. Two hours hot! But it was worth it, even if there wasn't any A/C. Micah earned three awards! (I will try and add later, my phone is acting up) He makes me so proud!
*** Edited & added Micah's awards in Math, Spanish and Science ***
I'm looking forward to spending time with them all summer, and Hannah and Lera, who are finishing up in two days. As Alice and I drove along, on the way, to get to her friends house, I couldnt help but be excited about the possibility of adding to our clan. Another angel sounds good to me and she's heavy on my heart. Just yesterday, the Department of Social Services called to touch bases again. And of course they know we are interested in the little 8 year old in foster care that needs a forever home. Are we it? I don't know. But I hope so! I believe with God, all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26) and I want to be her mom. Time will tell! This is how I want to live my life.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." - James 1:27
Happy Graduation Day, Micah! ~XOXO ~
This song inspires me, I dedicate it to you. <3
