Daughters

  
     God chose me to be mother to some beautiful girls!  It is hard work but I feel like I have been given such an AWESOME privilege.  Sometimes I wonder why God thinks I was the best person to entrust these  amazing little beings to.  You know, on those days when I have no idea what I'm supposed to do in a parenting situation.
     However, today we hit a milestone!!  My beautiful daughter, Ansley started kindergarten today.  I'll say I had a few moments where I was sad.  I guess I feel like today marks the day when I get less and less influence in her life.  I know I still have a lot of time with her, but we all know that parents get increasing less cool to their children with each passing year.  I'm gonna try not to live with that thought in the front of my mind but today it has been staring me in the face.

     I have NO doubt that Ansley will do great.  She is very outgoing and energetic.  Her "I can" attitude is exactly what she needs to succeed in school and life.  I do have to remind myself sometimes that her independence is a wonderful thing. :) We have a long way to go but starting this journey today has been exciting.  It also makes you dream of what all her future holds.  I am confident that He who began a good work will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ (Phil. 1:6).
     If you are a daughter or have a daughter please take some time to listen to this great new song from Shane and Shane.  Lets praise the one who is our hero!
