It's going to be a little weird not having Micah with me...but is it bad that I am a little excited for a break? I think its healthy to be away from the baby for a short time every once in a while. I don't want to be the mom who can't let my child go. I want Micah to be God's not mine. Hannah in the Bible literally gave her son Samuel to God. He then at a young age heard God's voice and became a prophet. He had a key role in the Israelities conquering the Philistines. Because of Samuel's prayers, "But that day the Lord thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites." -1 Samuel 7:10 What if Hannah didn't want to obey God and decided to keep him, and shelter him and not let him out of her sight? Maybe the Philistines would have slaughtered the Israelites, God's chosen people. Because of Hannah's obedience, her one choice to give up her son, changed history. I want to make decisions that will change history. I want to raise Micah to be a warrior after God's heart.
I will miss him like crazy, and his cute little face will be popping up in my mind throughout the day for sure! But it will be that much sweeter when I get to hug his little body and kiss his little cheeks when I get home! :)
