The perfect example of faith.

Today during our testimony meeting in church, my dear little 3 year old brought tears to my eyes, joy in my heart, and a renewed meaning of faith in my life. As each person got up to bare their testimony, Brody bothered his sister, relentless kicked the back of the pew, and snacked on snacks.

Never did I imagine that he was actually hearing what was said. Sooner than later he leaned over to me and said, "Mommy, I can do that too. I can go up there." With surprise in my voice, holding back a few wet ones :), I said, "Yes. Yes you can do that too!" I assured him that it was his turn next. After the speaker got done, Brody shoved and pushed his way through the isle and trudged up there all by himself. I gave Derek a big elbow to follow him up. Brody was pretty much up to the microphone already. He climbed up on the stool grabbed the microphone and pulled it down to his sweet lips. Blowing air through the microphone, he took a few seconds to look around and take in ALL the people that were looking at him :)

He took a deep breath and said something to the effect of, "bear my testimony, I love Jesus, church is true, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

As proud and as faithful as anyone I know. Such a little stud. I love that Boy.
