Here's a pic for you - Abbie was 27 months last Friday. Wow, when I put it like that she sounds pretty old! This week has been SO busy and I'm ready for a little break from it all! I'll try to post another update soon.

If something were to happen to me tomorrow I would want to leave the following lyrics to Abbie-

"Be strong in the Lord and,

Never give up hope,

You're gonna do great things,

I already know.

God's got His hand on you so,

Don't live life in fear,

Forgive and forget,

And don't forget why you're here.

Take your time and pray.

These are the words I would say"

I just love this song by Sidewalk Prophets, and it always makes me think of Abbie and the words I would want her to never forget throughout her life. There is honestly nothing in the world I want more for her than to love God and love others. Of course I want her to be happy too, but that's not always what life is about. We can't always have everything we want and sometimes we are dealt things that we may not like. So let's be real with our kids. Teach them to pray and trust and have faith in God, not in the things of this world.

Stepping off the soapbox now. ( :
