Daughter of the King

What I know...

There is a woman who bore 11 children. The eldest is a girl is Rebekah. She goes to work, goes to school, and tries to maintain some order in the house in-between. Someday soon she will graduate and leave home to pursue her education. She will miss them. Luke is next. He is a great guy. It's easy for him to be liked by almost anyone. He works and plays basketball. Luke is the type of guy who can keep his cool when the world is turning upside down (according to Rebekah's standards.) Little Elizabeth follows. She is a very diligent girl. Her love for music is heard throughout the house. She loves her family and friends, and is determined that all of the 11 children will live in the same neighborhood when they are grown. Jacob is forth. He is kind, but sometimes his humor will cause unrest. Jacob is smart and dedicated to the task before him. He will often give a hug and smile to those in need of love. Anna is next. She is tall, and enjoys basketball like Luke. She has a gift with young children, and would rather hold a baby than almost anything else. Anna is 13, an age that has caused many girls great drama. Anna has lived the year with color. Levi is sixth. He is strong willed and a good leader. He is the first of four boys in a row. Levi works on school, and plays basketball. He has a soft spot for people, but since he is a boy it doesn't always come out. John Calvin follows. He is quick to smile and laugh. John is a very smart boy, and if he would put his mind to it he will become a great and learned man. Alex comes next. He is strong and determined like Jacob. His passion can often cause emotional upheaval. Alex has a big heart, and a cool personality. Sam is ninth. He is trying to be like his five older brothers, yet he has lost his boyish qualities. Sam has a natural tendency to be extremely polite and considerate. He will hopefully regain them in due time. Jerusha is the first girl after all the boys. She is pretty and eager for attention. Right now she loves games and will beg anyone and everyone to play with her. She is a bit of a Daddy's girl. Jerusha takes care of her younger sister, but still claims baby position sometimes. Keziah comes last. She is brilliant for being two. Kez already knows all of her letters by sight, something we did not teach her. Keziah is stubborn, and cute. She likes to do things her own way on her own time schedule. Kez also loves to sing.
The two parents that also live in the house are basically saints. They have done an amazing job of caring for all of the children. The kids have been homeschooled since day one, and their mother has taught them well. Their father has diligently provided for their every need, and still finds time to be their Daddy. They have poured themselves out for these 11 children and proved themselves excellent examples of living for Christ.

...and this is what I know.
