“Teach me, LORD, the meaning of your statues, and I will always keep them. Help me understand your instruction, and I will obey it and follow it with all my heart.” Psalm 119:33-34

Here we are celebrating another birthday. This time it is our sweet fourteen year old daughter. She is kind, loyal, honest, compassionate, funny and authentic. She has this confidence that surfaced at an early age and has never left. Friendships are a top priority and drama is a waste of time. She loves well and navigates middle school with strength and calmness. She finds her hair to be a challenge, but does not let that keep her down. She knows this too will pass. Her reflection is one of a girl well loved and that is absolutely stunning. The biggest weight she carries is her backpack, but all else she takes in stride. She laughs easy and dances often, carefree is her style. She enjoys learning about Jesus and studies to become more like Him. And I think she looks a bit more like Him everyday.

Happy Birthday, Abbey Grace!
