".....beautiful!"

She and I were snuggling in bed early Sunday morning with Celia sandwiched in between us. Will love in her eyes she looked at her precious baby sister and said, "Mom, she is going to be so beautiful when she grows up." And with those words, my heart swelled and all was right with the world.

Thank you, Father, for my girl. She gets it and sees nothing but beauty and perfection just as YOU do.

Matthew West's album "The Story of Your Life" has been pouring out of our speakers the past fews days. I LOVE this album- each song has such a wonderful story behind it. The words to his song "To Me" sum up my prayers and praises for each of my kiddos!

Well it breaks my heart
Every time I see the world break yours in two
You know those lies ain't true
When you let 'em get to you,
Being you is hard to be, I see.

These days sticks and stones

Sound like paradise
Compared to those harsh words
They're rather cut you down than hold you
But they don't know you like I know you
If they did I know they'd see,
Yes they would see...

To me you are Heaven's finest invention by far
So much brighter than the brightest star
And what I'd give to make you see
Who you are to me

All your so called friends
Said they'd be there to the bitter end
But I won't be just like the others
I'm gonna show you my true colors
You can't ever make me leave
No, no, I won't ever leave

To me you are Heaven's finest invention by far
Even brighter than the brightest star
And what I'd give to make you see
Who you are to me

When you laugh it's my favorite song
And all the gray is gone
Every single time I see you smile,
I just haven't seen it in awhile

So go on and dream
Bigger dreams than this town's ever seen before
There are just two kinds of people:
Ones who say you're just not able
And the ones who change the world
And you're gonna change the world

To me you are

Heaven's finest invention by far
Even brighter than the brightest star
And what I'd give to make you see
Who you are to me ...to me.

In Him,

E
