Rebekah

Rebekah is our tender hearted middle child. She is so sincere, regardless of what spirit she might be in. She says what she means and takes you at your word. She reminds me of my sister, Katie. She always wants to give to others.

When she gets money for her birthday or Christmas she wants to give part of it to Tucker or Olivia. I think she's really trying to buy their affections. They love Rebekah but they can be really mean, bratty, older siblings some days.

Rebekah started taking piano lessons with Doug Baker at Stephens Music. She's been kind of bummed that Karate classes were put on hold this year, she really enjoyed doing that.

Rebekah frequently scores higher on Wii than Tucker and Olivia and that drives them crazy! I'm secretly pleased - I know that's probably bad to wish that they'd get some of their own medicine back at 'em - but I do.

Rebekah has been asking lots of questions about Jesus and what it means to be saved. She wants to be baptized but hasn't given us the responses we feel we need to hear in order to follow thru with that. She gets discouraged but we want her to have a genuine conversion and not something that's based on envy or jealousy of some friend or family member. We know that her days were numbered before she took her first breath and that if she does have it all right in her heart that we aren't keeping her from a relationship with Jesus. Please pray that we will heed the Lord and listen to His guidance in the direction we take in regards to our children's spiritual lives.

Rebekah - I know you feel out of place at times, it breaks my heart when you say no one likes you. No matter how you may be treated by others, know that you were created in the image of a God that loves you so much that He sent his son to earth to die for your sins. I love you for being the tender-hearted girl that you are. There's no reason to search for who you are in this world - you are already who God wanted you to be and we love that you more than we could ever love any other.
