Free Spirit

I love her free spirit.

I love her confidence.

I love her compassionate heart.

I love that she is a born leader.

I love that she cares deeply for her family and friends.

I love that she loves Jesus.

Lord, use me to lift her up and encourage her in the way you want her to live.

Help me see all the beautiful qualities, gifts and talents that you have given her that are unique to her.

May she grow up to be wise, bold, courageous and spirit-led.

May she spread her wings and soar...in the direction that you want her to go.

May she focus on You and You alone...and wait patiently for the husband you have chosen for her.

May she soak up the Word and use it to minister to others and further your kingdom.

May she know ALWAYS that she is extremely loved and cherished by You.

Quotes

Some of my favorite quotes by Joyce Meyer:

"Things get hard when we try to do them independently without leaning on and relying on God’s grace."

"Today, stop trying to control anything but yourself. You can't control the world, but you can control yourself."

"Don't just be a "loose cannon." The only way self-control is going to get stronger is if you use it."

"When you have self-control, you don't stop doing something just because it's hard."

"Don’t waste your life waiting until everything is perfect before you start enjoying it."

"The quicker you make the right decision, the easier it is to do."

"It's amazing what you can do on purpose. Stop waiting to "feel" like it and make your mind up that "I will."

Wings

My prayer for all three girls...

Lyrics from "Find Your Wings" by Mark Harris

It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
You're walking in the truth
And If I never told you
I want you to know
As I watch you grow
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/mark_harris/find_your_wings.html ]
Chorus:
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings

May passion be the wind
That leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories

Chorus:

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer as you fly
