This one's for my little Sisters



You are BEAUTIFUL. 
  You are brave.
               You are loving.
                          You are kind. 
                                            You are creative.




All that God has created each one of you to be, is BEAUTY!  I thank God for you!  I am grateful beyond words, for the way God miraculously placed you in my life.

Why me?

Why you?


I'm really speechless.  You have grown into amazing young women.  I remember sitting at the bottom of your bed for countless bed times and singing until you all three fell asleep.  One with a thumb in her mouth, another with her favorite white blanket, and the littlest with pretty red hair splashed across her pillow.  You are beautiful because Jesus is in you and you have gone through so much, yet you still love. You still embrace. You still work hard.  You still laugh.  You still brush all those horses.  You still snap all those photographs.  You sing and you dance.  Each is so unique in your beauty.  Your brown hair, your blonde hair and of course your red.  And all those gorgeous blue eyes that I adore!


God is doing a work in your lives, my dear sisters.  This road to holiness is painful, yet it is worth every difficult step.  Like a caterpillar who must struggle out of its tight chrysalis in order to use the new, wet wings and soar.  The fight to free itself from the covering gives it the strength to take flight.  You too are being refined by God's fire.

He is molding you and shaping you in the dark, hard places of your life. When we hurt most, we need Him most.  That's where He wants us.  Fully dependent on Him because we've tried every possible way on our own and the only thing left is to surrender to Jesus.

Don't lose hope.  Don't lose that light in your eyes.  Don't give up on love.  Seek the truth in all things.  Read God's Word because it is precious and you will find LIFE.  Forgive, forgive, forgive.  Keep dancing.  Please keep on dancing in your own beautifully unique ways.

You are BEAUTIFUL!
