Today we get to celebrate our oldest daughter turning twenty two years old. She lives a thousand miles away now, but we remain connected. Hearing about her day and sharing with her the dailies of home, helps when we do get to see each other. I know she is growing and becoming more and more who she was created to be. We get to watch and help from a distance now, always cheering her on. It seems like as kids are growing up at home, the goal is teaching, modeling dependence on God and the goodness of His love. When she moved out I think I held my breathe just a minute, waiting to see if she really would love and trust Him with all her heart. It quickly became evident she does!!

So Maggie, keep trusting His love for you and walking one step at a time in the light He gives. We are celebrating you today and so thankful to be on the front row these past twenty two years.

Happy Birthday Maggie!!
