My big 3 year old!

Little Bear turned 3 today. And he had no idea. We had his party on Saturday, so he thinks he is already 3 even though he still only holds up 2 fingers.

I can't believe that he is already 3. It really does seem like yesterday I was hugely prego with him and moving across the country. Lovey was starting medical school, we were moving to a new city and I was so nervous about having a baby while he was in school. Funny thing now since we have had 3 kids during med school!


Back to Little Bear - that child cracks me up. He is adorable, determined, charming, athletic and loves Thomas the Train. His name means "light" and my prayer for him is that others are drawn to the light that shines bright inside him. That they are attracted to him not just because he is cute (and man is he cute) or because he has a great sense of humor, but because he has a love for our Lord that draws others to him. I pray that his love for his Savior & his relationship with his God is strong and deep. That he is able to articulate that love and share it passionately with others. I want him to be clothed with compassion, kindness, gentleness and strength. And I pray that he always has a strong connection with his family and always loves his big brother as much as he does now.


Those are some big prayers for such a little boy. Good thing they are reaching the ears of a mighty God! And I pray that our mighty God will guide this momma and continue changing her so that she would be an example of all the qualities I pray for in my babies. Change me Lord, change me.

So beautiful!! I feel the same way. The prayers I have for my little ones are so big, but our God can handle it! :) I find when I pray these big things for them, I immediately realize that I am one of the biggest possible hinderances to those prayers coming forth. I want to be light to them so it isn't foreign to them. Glad to know I'm not alone!

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog for a visit. I enjoyed "touring" yours too! I laughed when you wrote about your encounter regarding your twins. I saw a woman with a two year old and seven week old twins today at a store, and I was very sympathetic. Both the babies were fussing. My heart truly went out to her. But she said she's sleeping well, they're only getting up once a night to nurse, and she's great. So I was congratulatory and not "feeling sorry" for her any longer! And I will think twice before I open my mouth. Ha!

Oh I love this! That's a great prayer and those words are straight from your heart, I know it. Happy Birthday, Little Bear :)
