She's Another Year Older!



She is 11 today. If I could bottle this girl's enthusiasm and charisma, I would be a wealthy woman! She is pretty and bright, dramatic and empathetic. She amazes with me with her courage to speak up and her stamina. She has a really soft heart for the underdog, and comes along side those she sees left out. She is my firstborn, the one I cut my teeth on and have made the most mistakes with. I pray that she would always walk with the Lord and that He would always fill in the gaps where she has been hurt and let down. She is just a beautiful child, and I look forward to seeing her as a woman of God. In the meantime, I am going to pray, pray, pray, cause it is gonna be a bumpy ride at times!

She is beautiful! Happy Birthday! Yip.... us Moms should all be on our knees praying for our kids! I know my mom wore a hole in the carpet praying for me! I was not your easy going pleasant teenager, infact I was quite the oppostite. That is extremely angry and resentful!..... BUT the prayer worked! So keep that line to God open!

She's a beauty.

Your daughter is breathtaking! What a blessing! My oldest will be six in September and I know that she will be as grown up as your young lady before I know it!
