Angela

Something you all need to know about Angela Grace Boggs. She was named after John's mom who died in a car accident when he was only 2. She was born with a heart defect and had to have open heart sergery at 9 months of age. She is strong and courageous. You cannot ever tell her she can't do something, she will prove you wrong. At 4 years old she was making breakfast for her sisters and getting them dressed. she is responsible, She often reminds me of playdates or birthday parties I had forgotten. Angela is a SORE loser. She ALWAYS wins, or else. She has never met a stranger. She is a good judge of character, when she was just a few months old she would scream bloody murder when certain people would come around, ended up she was always right on with the CRAZIES. Angela was born an 'old soul' she would rather hang out with adults and talk, than play with a group of kids in the same room. She hates to be alone, she crawls in to bed with one of her sisters or with us every night. She loves high heel shoes, and walks like she was born in them. She was saved when she was 4, funny thing was she got up from naptime and told me she prayed to Jesus out the window and told him she believed in him. Angela has always been independent. Since she was able to walk she never looked back never needed affirmation she is confident. this is my firstborn, and I look up to her. She teaches me daily what trusting God looks like.

  1. I love this post. I've always said that one of the reasons I've taught Portico kids for so long is because of how much God teaches ME through the children. Angela has always amazed me in that way. Just like you said, it's hard not to look up to a girl like that, no matter how young. She has been such a joy in my life as have all of you. Reading this made me smile so much. :) By the way, I just discovered that you have a blog...which makes me so happy since I won't be as close in the next year or so! Miss you!
