10 years old

Ten years ago today, Josh and I welcomed two baby girls into the world. We had not found out their gender so it was quite the suprise when we found out that we had two baby girls. Oh the joy and love that we instantly had for those precious little ones. I think now of how much they have grown and matured in the last ten years. They are so similar in some ways and so different in others. My Grace, the eldest born through and through even though it is only by two minutes.  She is definitely my rule-follower, quick to fall into line and make sure everyone else is too. She loves to read, has such a quick memory like her daddy and is crazy smart. She is loyal, trustworthy and reliable. She is so responsible. She is a kind friend and takes care of those around her.  And then I have my Kayleigh, full of fun and adventure. She definitely has her daddy’s competitive streak.  She is so creative, always coming up with a fun activity or game, thinking she has the skills of a ninja warrior. A creative writer and so good artistic, her voice shines through her craft. She is kind and compassionate. Together they are a set of princess cat warriors, always pretending and playing. They are obsessed with cats and horses, begging daily to get one of each. Beautiful inside and out, they care for little ones like they are their own, mommying their cousins with love. They are smart and helpful. Beyond all that, they love the Lord and are resilient beyond my wildest dreams.  It takes my breath away thinking about how proud their daddy would be of them right now. They look to the Lord to be their strength and comfort, pointing me as well as others to look to the Lord and have joy in this day.   Please pray that my children continue to cling to the Lord as their comfort and strength.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4
