Introducing… February 9, 2010
Micah Nathan Curington! Born in Ocala, Florida, at 11:12am on Monday, February 8th, 2010. We chose Micah for his first name because it reminds us of one of our favorite Bible verses, which tells us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8). The name means “Who is like God?” The fact that our children are miracles is something we never want to forget; they are living testimonies that our God is all-powerful and He answers prayer. There is no one else like Him.
Nathan, of course, is after my dad, and means “gift of God.” One of the highlights of Micah’s first day of life was calling my mom to tell her about the birth and share our baby’s name. As soon as I told her, she started to cry. I know it makes her sad that my dad isn’t here physically to meet his little namesake, but as she said, “Somehow I’m sure he’s aware of this honor.”
As I type this I’m sitting in a hospital bed with Micah asleep across my lap. My head is full of images from the past few days and it’s hard to know just what to share. But I keep thinking of something my mom always says to me on my birthday: “God was good to us on June 24th, 1977.” It’s something she told each of her kids, and something she heard from her own mother on her birthday. It’s a simple statement, but it’s perfect for right now. God was good to us on February 8th, 2010, the day we welcomed Micah Nathan into our family.
PS – Birth story coming soon!
He is gorgeous! erm uh Handsome would be more appropriate, or how about perfect?

Congratulations.
Linnea, he is beautiful! Welcome, Micah Nathan! You are part of a very special family. Congratulations to you, Linnea and Adam, on a job well done. I love the name and its significance. We thank the Lord with you!
Oh my gosh Linni and Ad, I am so happy and excited for you! I showed my roommates the pictures and they agree with me that he is adorable!
And I absolutely love the name! I can’t wait to meet him in person!
So precious!!! and beautiful!!!
Yesterday something happened that NEVER happens… I woke up early and couldn’t sleep. I got up at 4:30am and went downstairs. I sat down and thought, “Now what do I do?” I didn’t want to wake anyone up.
And then I knew…God woke me up so I could pray for you! It was 5:30am your time. I prayed for every aspect of your delivery that I could think of, wondering if your call would find Labor and Delivery full or if you were on your way to the hospital. I have to tell you, this is not something that happens often. I think God was teaching me something about prayer. But it is exciting to think I actually got up and prayed! Maybe it will happen again some day!
In the meantime, I am thankful that everything went so well. Looking forward to hearing the details. Welcome Micah Nathan!

How blessed you two are!
Congratulations on Micah Nathan. What a strong name for this handsome young man. Linnea – I was in the nursery at Moody Church when your mom brought you in and placed you in one of the cribs for the first time. All the workers rushed over to soak you in. You were so beautiful. I will never forget as I took my turn to check you out (and I was just a teenager) you took your right index finger and put it in your cheek and smiled as if to say “Aren’t a sight to behold!” And you were. In fact, I have always liked the names your parents picked for you kids – and if God had blessed us with a girl her name would have been Lynnea Hope. I know you are going to be a great mom to both of your children that God has entrusted to you. Enjoy each day because they grow up way too quickly. God Bless.
