The years seem to have gone so quickly. One minute I'm holding her in my arms as a baby and today she's turned 18. When I think for a minute about my big girl, as I call her, I can't help but smile. A lot of time, effort and hard work went into raising, shaping and forming this incredible woman. As I stand back and watch her I can't help but think about all the incredible things the Lord has blessed her with. She has the ability to reach any generation. Whether it's babies, her peers, young adults, thirty year olds or even the elderly, she can be their friend and has the ability to influence their lives. She's thoughtful, kind, funny, loyal, wise and definitely concerned about the well-being of others. But most importantly, what stands out to me as her dad is her love for the Lord. She loves the Word, can pray up a storm with what's on her heart, sings songs of praise to Him constantly, and is a light for Him wherever she goes. She's not afraid about what others think, so long as it's pleasing to Him. I believe this is going to be such an amazing year for my big girl and know that Jeremiah 29:11 is for Amber today, "
For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Happy Birthday Amber! I'm so proud of you and excited for you. I love you so much :)
