7 Wonderful years.


Noah Hall Lundy



He is about 3 in this picture, it was also the last time he wore overalls!


Seven years. Its been 7 whole years since my entire life changed. Those of you who knew me before can attest that I am an entirely different person because of the sweet little boy that came into my life 7 years ago. When I found out I was pregnant with Noah I was 26 years old, single, and living life all for myself. God had some drastic plans for me, He used Noah to save me, He used Noah to teach me selflessness, He used Noah to show me what unconditional love is. God gave me this precious gift, this little life that was mine to look after and care for, and I can't thank Him enough! Being Noah's mom has been the best experience ever! We have been through so much in these short 7 years, and I know there is so much more to come, but even through all the trials and hardships of being a single mom and having to deal with all the other things, I wouldn't trade it for anything!


Noah is funny, loud, and very energetic. He can drive you mad with all of his questions and his constant need to talk ALL THE TIME! He loves his friends and is incredibly faithful to each of them. He is an awesome athlete and he is very smart. He loves math, science, history, and go figure, handwriting! He has the most tender heart, but doesn't let very many people see that side of him. He will cry for a hurt animal or when his little brother gets hurt. He wants to please, and loves to help out, especially his dad. Anytime Chad is doing something "manly" Noah wants to be right there handing him a hammer or helping in anyway he can! But, he loves, loves, loves his mama. He and I have a very special bond. It was just the two of us for almost the first 4 years of Noah's life. Chad and I were married right before Noah turned 4. I wish I had some of his baby pictures on the computer, but that was before I had a digital camera. He was the sweetest baby. I remember the day I came home with him. All I wanted to do was just hold him and stare at him, he was so beautiful and so perfect.


Over the years Noah has changed so much, emotionally and physically. He also has developed quite a love for Jesus. I am so thankful for the way the Lord has gotten a hold of Noah's heart this year. I hear Noah say things that I never thought I would hear. He prays on his own, he asks us to pray for him, he prays for others. What a blessing this boy is!

Happy Birthday my wonderful son! I love you and am so glad you are my boy!

I love this post--almost made me cry, and I've never even met him! What a sweet little boy--I think he and my 7 yr old would be good friends.
