PSALM 30:11-12

"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever."

"He Already Knows"

When I found out that I was having a boy, it scared me a little bit. In all honesty, I worried myself over it for quite a while. Was I excited? Of course I was! I was just concerned. I was so afraid that I was going to ruin him with my "girlie" ways or unintentionally make him wimpy or overly sensitive. I remember actually praying..."Oh God, a boy? You are asking me to raise a boy?! How in the world am I supposed to do that? How am I supposed to teach him how to be a boy?!"

And then he was born...
and 17 and a half months later, I have come to realize something...
with absolute certainty...
that although I will need to teach him many things in this life...
lessons that I will probably get wrong more often than I get right...
there is one thing that I will NEVER need to teach him...
and that is...
how to be a boy. 


Somehow, someway...
he already knows.









And when a certain girl told him that it was time to leave because it's gross to play in the chicken coop, this is the face I got...


a face that says, without a doubt, I'm ALL BOY!!

Somehow, someway...
HE already knows.

"Oh Lord, thank you! I absolutely love my precious little dirty boy!"
