Michael

Michael is my 13 year old son.  He is the third born of four children.

I remember when Chris and I were awaiting the news of our ultra sound of our third child.
I was very certain that GOD intended for me to have a little girl someday.
So, when the nurse informed us that I was carrying another boy, I looked at Chris and muttered between my teeth "one more, real quick, that's it!"

However, it was not soon after Michael learned to crawl that I remember saying "no more, that's it, get fixed!"

Michael was a difficult child to raise, but I sure do cherish those days now!  The first 10 years of that boys life, I wondered if he may actually have a demon in him.  I prayed over that boys room night after night!

At the age of 6, Michael was diagnosed with ADHD and with the help of medication, he became a little more tolerable and easier to raise.  He still gave us quite a challenge, but with consistence and GOD's guidance, he has matured into a very smart and lovable kid!  

I am so proud of Michael!  He is smart, funny, loving, compassionate, and a pure joy to be around!
Last night, he stood in front of many and gave his baptismal testimony!

My heart warms with memories of Michael and how difficult life was wondering if I was raising him with enough love and discipline.  But, because GOD is so good and trusting, I know HE has answered my prayers!  GOD has BIG plans for Michael and I am very excited to watch Michael grow in HIS faith!

Thank you GOD for allowing me to be Michael's mother!  Thank you for YOUR continued guidance as I parent Michael according to YOUR will!

I am very confident that Michael will make a difference in many people's lives!  He can read people; he has a gift to make others feel good about themselves.  He brings laughter to many with his charm!
I love my KID!  Thank you GOD for Michael!!
