You are my precious blessing

Samantha, Monday you turned 4 years old! I am soo proud of you and I am loving this stage of your life. This year you said that you wanted a Strawberry Shortcake party but since you have already had one we decided on a Painting Party! I took NO pictures of your party because I was enjoying it way too much! I am hoping to get some that Aunt Tammy took! Luckily she was snapping pictures!

Over your 3rd year, you have evolved into a young lady!
 You are finding your way in this world!
You test your limits pretty much every day!
We are so alike, we butt heads! But I wouldn't have it any other way. Life is a learning experience and you are not the only one who is learning!
 
 
 
You still won't eat green beans! But are eating more meat!
Your favorite food group is Sweets! I have thought to limit these because you LOVE them soo much.
You love to help me cook and prepare meals. You even have started to set the table without asking!
 
Every day, you crack me up, you have the wildest imagination! Your teachers at school tell me daily that if they didn't know better they would believe you when you say you have brothers and sisters.

Your favorite saing is "All my people" say so or I have to go tell "All my people". Your vocabulary is grand for a 4 year old! I just love hearing the $10 words that you use! It makes my heart happy.

Your father and I pray daily for you sweet girl! We love you soo much! I pray that you will grow up to be a kind, smart, and bright young lady! Enjoy every minute of your 4th year because your 5th year will sneak up on you!

Some girls just glow Pink!

Have you ever wondered where your going in life? What God has in store for you? What your gift is that He gave you? I have and I am still trying to figure these things out. In the mean time, I will keep loving people like He has directed me. God is SO active in my life these days!  I see Him in all the areas of my life. I don't know His plans but He is growing my husband's faith and growing us stronger as husband and wife. I am just curious where He is taking us! I can only relate it to a present you have been wanting for awhile and you know it's coming but just don't know when the UPS driver will get it to you! This present is AMAZING! But you just have to wait for it to be delivered! He is delivering soo many presents to us all!
 
As I sit here and write this, I think what will I do as I wait here for my present! One of the things Jesus tells us to do is GO!
 

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen” (Mt. 28:16-20).
 
 
 

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (James 1:27, NIV)
 
For in You the orphan finds mercy. (Hosea 14:3)
 
These verses keep reappearing in my life! I am glad that I attend a church that this is their main focus both these things that are commanded of us! I am beyond blessed!
 
What will you do as you wait for that amazing present you know is coming?
