Miss A's name means ‘My Father’s Joy’. When she was born she was already named “Matthew Jacob” because we firmly believed a son would arrive. What a surprise we faced at her birth. She was tiny, early, had some other issues that we had to have ‘faith’ that God would keep her safe.
When she was 2 weeks old she contacted Staph and spent 3 days in the hospital taking IV antibiotics. Miss A struggled to grow for many months and even now is very petite. It still amazes us to see this little ‘midget’ as Daddy calls her, walk around talking and yet being the size our others were at 9 months. She’s a smarty who’s favorite word is becoming ‘cookie’…said like the cookie monster from Sesame Street. COOKIE, COOKIE, COOKIE!!
She loves baby dolls, playing with her daddy, brothers and sisters, and ‘MOMMEE!’ Each night at bed time as we bless her she will say the Lord’s blessing to us. The blessing is found in Numbers 6:23 “May the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift his countenance upon you and give you His peace.” Miss A will yell peace at the end, and then she lies down and goes to sleep.
I pray that as she grows, she will listen to the Lord’s will for her life. I pray that she will learn to have a soft, sweet spirit and an obedient heart. I pray that she will come to know Jesus at an early age.
