Lauren and I started a new “Mother-Daughter” study today. She finished Proverbs 31 before Christmas and now we’re reading, “How to be a Lady.”
Today, the book referenced the error of thinking too much or too little of yourself. Before I elaborated on the concept of thinking too little of yourself, Lauren surprised me with this explanation.
“If you’re foolish while you’re little, your heart gets set on doing foolish things and when you get old, like 16, you make bad decisions and it’s harder to learn to do the right thing.”
Praise the Lord for His faithfulness in my strong little girl’s life! He is shaping her even now. May His mercies continue in Lauren’s life all of her days.
Happy Birthday, Lauren

It’s true. My baby girl just turned SEVEN! It seems like just a moment ago that I wandered in amazement at her perfectly formed little fingers and toes… and now I am wandering at the evidences of God’s grace I see in her life.
Chris reminded me that a couple of years ago I didn’t know if she’d live to see her 6th Birthday (5 was a hard age! Whew!). At her party, I watched Lauren serve her friends, include her little brother at lunchtime, and play with friends from 4 to 11 without discrimination. These do not come naturally to seven-year-olds (or their 28 year old Moms!) nor are they entirely taught.
Today, I’m documenting the way the Lord is growing you into a godly woman, Lauren. You are a blessing to Mommy and I’m thankful you are a model for sweet little Georgia Anne to watch and learn from. I love you. Happy Birthday.
