In My Daughter's Eyes



In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero
I am strong and wise, and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes (Martina McBride)

Grace turned 9 yesterday and always on her birthday I think a lot about the gift she has been to me. God sent her at just the right time and I am so thankful that He sent her to us. Grace still loves art and is so creative. She is very passionate, which means good days are really good and hard days are really hard. She did great in 3rd grade- loving almost all of the subjects- except Science. She loves Zhu-Zhu pets, which are better for her mother than the tiny Polly Pockets from a couple of years ago. Her great wish in life is her own cell phone, which we aren't ready to give her yet. She loves having her nails done and is learning to put on make-up, which drives her Daddy crazy- especially because she is too pretty to need any make-up. Some of the pictures I am including are of her being enrolled as a Junior Soldier by Commissioner Swyers at our Rocky Mountain Congress last week. We are so proud of her and so privileged that she is part of her family. I pray every day that God protects her and that He helps me to be a good mother to her.
