The Lord has so far blessed my husband and I with four wonderful children of the male variety. It is quite an adventure for a former girly girl like myself. At this point I don't even know what I would do with a girl. I think I have adjusted well. I enjoy getting to relive the wonderful newness childhood offers from an entirely different perspective. I don't think boys get a fair shake all the time. It seems everyone always expects the worst out of them just due to their chromosome makeup. I think the problem stems from the fact that this day in age we seem to forget that we aren't raising children to be children; we are raising them to be adults. When we treat them like children , they act like children. When they know we have higher expectations for them, they try to live up to them. When those children are boys the little balls of energy can be left to destruction or directed toward construction. I want my boys to grow to be mighty warriors for God's army. They need to be strong, brave, and honorable. They can't be afraid of a little pain, or a little strife. They have to be willing to take charge when a leader is required. They have to realize that the very best leaders serve while nurturing the leadership qualities of others. The 10 year old, The Bookworm, is my scholar. "Momma, I want to know everything." He consumes books like they're air. My 8yo, The Rabbit, is fearless. He climbs trees like they are his second home and runs like he is riding the wind. The Force (to be reckoned with), my 5yo is curious; while describing him as a cat may be cliche, it is true. He is also my right hand these days, glorying in finally being a big brother. The Baby, 8 months, is the sunshine in all our lives. He wants to be anywhere his brothers are. These are my future men. I hope you enjoy sharing our journey.
