Each birthday is bittersweet. The years seem to fly; each one seems faster than the one before. We savor the days together, but time is something all too precious that cannot be slowed down.
She feels it too now. She is in no rush to grow up. I love that about her. I am starting to see glimpses of what she will be like as a woman; now in this space between child and adult.
She feels with all her heart and is full of compassion. She is grace and teaches me daily more than I ever dreamed.
I pray she will continue to seek God, to lean on Him always.
So grateful for this girl and the day I became a mama twelve years ago.
