Stop and pray

I have pictures of our activity from yesturday but I am going to wait and share that tomorrow.

I was reading a post about beautiful young lady who is turning 16 today.  One of the things her mother shared about her was that she “She has strong convictions and knows her mind, but she is ever gentle about it, never overbearing.”.  What a wonderful word picture of the character I hope my little girl develops.   (She is currently in the this is what I WANT  NOW stubborn stage:)  But this reminded me to look to her future and have hope that she is going to change and grow, and hopefully into a beautiful young lady.  And also, most importantly, I need to pray for her.  That God would work in her and shape her into a godly young lady.  I also prayed for wisdom to guide and correct her in a way that will gently teach and not hinder her.  Sometimes I just need those reminders to stop and pray and realize that my daughter is God’s daughter first and most importantly.
