"Baby" Faith is 4!

Fingerprints of God

Never has there been and never again

Will there be another you

Fashioned by God's hand

And perfectly planned

To be just who you are

And what He's been creating

Since the first beat of your heart

Is a living breathing priceless work of art and

I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you

I can see the fingerprints of God

And I know its true

You're a masterpiece

That all creation quietly applauds

And you're covered with the fingerprints of God


Just look at you

You're a wonder in the making

Oh and God's not through no

In fact He's just getting started…

- Steven Curtis Chapman


As we get ready to welcome another baby, it has been very hard to acknowledge that "Baby" Faith is 4. She tells me more and more frequently not to call her "Baby Faith", but that is what she's always been. So, when I hear her "reading" to her dolls, or counting to 75, it's a little bit shocking. She is so much fun to be around- she is so smart and affectionate. Everytime she has a treat, her face lights up as if she's never seen candy before. Her imagination when she is playing with her dolls is unending.

I am privileged to be her mother and thank God everyday for blessing us with Faith.
