Yes my baby is 4, well not quiet my baby, but you know what I mean. I remember like it was yesterday when I found out I was pregnant with him. The fear was beyond overwhelming and God just kept telling me "be courageous, if you really believe this is from Me, then be courageous!" I do not like it when God tells me something I know that is obvious, but my fear is such a mountain it is sometimes hard to see Him. After Noah died having another baby was unfathomable. It is truly through His mercy and grace that we have Joshua.
Joshua asked me the other day "Mama, why am I Joshua?" I told him "you are Joshua, because God told us to be strong and courageous just like he did Joshua in the Bible. When we found out we were having you we wanted to honor God for pulling us through our owies." Yes I know honor and owies in the same sentence, lol.
So here goes my trying to be creative, lol.
J is for Joshua - because God is making him a strong and courageous little man
O is for Ornery - because he likes to push the limits
S is for smiles - because his grin will melt your heart
H is for his heart - that reaches out to everyone
U is for unimaginable - because we never in a million years thought that God would bless us with more kiddos after Noah, boy are we ever glad he did
A is for amazing - because everyday we are amazed at this little guy and how God is using him even though he is only 4.

I love your poem, and I can't imagine how scared you must have been after Noah. Joshua looks like a sweet little boy, and I am so happy you were able to overcome your fears to bring him into the world. Happy Birthday, Joshua!
