The gifts of our children

"Every child is a different kind of flower. All together they make this world a beautiful garden." 

Hannah Joy Pomegranate

Hannah is now reading. My parents sent her a card so she could read it all by herself. She was so proud! It was actually one of the first things she said to me when she started reading: "If someone sends something in the mail to me, I can read it by myself!" Hannah is still little and I can't tell exactly where God is taking her, but my prayer is that she uses her zest and personality and love of life to make others feel the love of Jesus everyday. 

Abigail Grace

Abigail is going to be competing in ballet this year -- her teacher has never let a seven-year-old do it before so we are super proud of her. She's doing a solo to Jamie Grace's Beautiful Day and will also be competing in a trio where she will be the evil villain Poison Ivy. We simply can't help but smile when we watch her body work so well for her. We really believe that her gift lies in MOVEMENT and we look forward to watching the Lord lead her to bring honor to him through her athleticism, strength, and like her middle name ... GRACE.

Elijah Luke (aka "Sidge")

Sidge is our "passionate" child. He is like his mom in that things are either AMAZING or HORRIBLE. He loves nature and animals and lately, he's become obsessed with obstacle courses. His body is getting sooooo strong as he gets better and better at pushing himself to new limits. He is going to be a big man, and we pray this his heart is as strong as his body.

Isaac John

 To see this young man speak music as a first language is simply something I can't even put into words. I could listen to him play all day long. We are continually asking the Lord to give him a selfless heart that wants to bring joy to others through his gifts -- especially his gift of music.
