Ever realize...

...your kids are growing up. Faster than you think. Really, every day they get just a little older. Learn something new. Do something new. Sing something new. Wear something new. Think something new. See something new. Start to form their own opinons.

Suddenly, I have realized my "baby", who will be 11 years old next month, has her own individual view of the world. She doesn't have the same thoughts I have, the same opinons I have, the same desires and dreams I have...

But I have only one prayer for her...that she share the same love for Jesus Christ as I do. In fact, I hope my love for Christ pales in comparison to her love for Him. I pray her days are spent running, wrecklessly, wildly, and passionately after Him...fully devoted, completely trusting, and utterly in love with our Lord and Savior.

Leah,

No matter what this world has to offer you, nothing can compare to knowing and having a relationship with Jesus...I consider my decision to accept Christ the best choice I have ever made. I pray you continue to grow your roots deep in God's word...nothing makes me prouder than knowing you've choosen to be His. I love you more than you can imagine.

I love you best,

I love you most,

I love you high,

I love you low,

I love you deep,

I love you wide,

I love you,

I love you,

I love you THIS >< MUCH!

Mama
