Intro to the Goodmans

Now I think it's about time that I introduce my family! As my profile says, I'm married to a wonderful Godly man named Chris who I am truly blessed to have. We have a pretty awesome testimony that I will delve into another time. Anyway, he loves me so much second only to the Lord and deals with all of my quirks with a smile...most of the time . We've been married for a little over 10 years now and have 5 awesome kids with one on the way. Yes, we are a borderline "mega family" now, and our quiver must hold a lot. :-) But God is good, and has always provided for our needs in every way and I couldn't imagine my life any different. I would be lost without any one of my kids, they are a part of me and I thank God everyday for the honor of being their mother. He must have a great deal of trust in me to let me do this again! For the kids, here it goes:

Jonathan, my first born and my leader. He'll be 10 in a week, that's hard to believe. Sometimes I think he's taught me more than I've taught him. But he made me a mother for the first time and changed my life for the better in so many ways. He loves music and the Lord very much. I am amazed at his heart for God already and very excited to see what God will do with his life.

Nathan, my second born and my loving clown with a huge heart for Jesus. He'll be 9 in about a month and is a joy. He is always there with a hug if I need it and very loving. He wears his emotions on his sleeve and as wonderful as that is, I worry about that when he's older and falls in love. I pray to God for his future wife, that she loves him as he'll love her. He is the most accepting and non-judgemental little man ever and God has something magical in store for him!

Hannah, my third and only daughter (so far). She is 71/2 going on 15. Very smart and very mature for her age and beautiful beyond belief. It's hard to believe Chris and I made such a pretty thing. She's been talking since she was 1 and it's hard to remember her not being a little lady. She is a mommy's girl to the end and I love it. She will be my best friend after the teen years I'm sure. God is preparing her to be a daughter He will be so proud of and I hope I play a part in the beautiful woman of God she will be someday.

David, my fourth born and 3rd son. He is 5 1/2 and still my baby. He's probably been spoiled more then the first three, probably because we were a little older when we had him and more mature. He is my serious one and always thinking. He's very mature and a wonderful big brother and example to Jeremiah. He is excited to start kinder this year and loves going to church and learning about Jesus. He amazes me everyday at how he is growing. I pray daily that he takes after his namesake and is a man after God's own heart!

And Jeremiah, my baby, for now. He is 3 1/2 and still called "the baby". He is a character and Chris and I have so much fun just watching him. He is soooo entertaining and has endless personality. Where he gets it I don't know, Chris and I seem so dull compared to this little ball of fire. I am so excited to see where God will lead him, he will do awesome things for Him I'm sure. He loves life and has taught me to slow down and enjoy the little things. I kiss him a million times daily and he's always there for a cuddle.

I am blessed beyond belief daily and I pray that a day never goes by that I don't appreciate to the fullest extent what I have!
