Kindergarten!!

Good morning sunshine!

Lord bless you and keep you Kylee

So excited!

Ready to go!

I can't believe how quickly the years have gone! My baby girl...my first born- is now in kindergarten!  I am filled with such an array of emotions.  Sadness, that the years are going so quickly. Excitement, for all that is ahead of her.  Joy, for the smile on her face and the twinkle in her eye.  The reigning emotion, today, is Anticipation, for all that God is doing in her and through her.  We set out from the very start to prepare Kylee to be a confident, independent, self-assured individual that will impact the lives of others by her very presence...the love of Christ shining through her.  We are continually giving our precious daughter over to the Lord knowing He loves her even more (amazingly) than we do and that He holds her in his hands and has a plan for her life.  So when I walked away from my girl that first day of school and left her in that classroom I had some real warring emotions...knowing that I need to trust God and wanting to take care of her myself I was gripped with the reality that life will never be the same.  God gently took my hand and walked me out of that building all the while whispering to me the truth of his love for her which spoke of his amazing love for me.  Each day I am reminded of this truth as I drop her off and walk down that hall- Just as He is holding my hand walking me down my path, He is holding her hand and walking her down the path He has laid out for her.

Kylee,

Love you sweet girl!
