A Note From Mom: ELLY IS ELEVEN!!!


It was hard to find pics of just you... because you're always loving on someone or something. Eleven years of my little Sweetness. You have brought me so much joy, Babe.





I feel like over this last year, you have become more aware of the deep well within you that not only sustains you, but nourishes everything around you. You feel things very deeply, and that is both a blessing and a curse. I pray that when your heart is wandering through a deep forest of emotion, that you will always remember to look up and find guidance in your Maker. When you feel those waves of immense joy and utter sadness, hold fast to your Anchor. God will always come to your aid, you need only ask.

I know that breaking your leg and walking on crutches and not being able to do things was a really hard season for you. I pray that God will use the seeds that were planted in you and in those around you to provide an abundant crop of joy and faithfulness. I hope that you have many opportunities to empathize with others through their hard seasons, and I pray that your hope in God will leave others in awe.





I pray that this next year brings you more hope and more Jesus. I pray that you have a continual growing desire to daily love Him more, and fear Him more, and know Him more. I ask that you have more opportunities to live out the meaning of your name, 'My God is Lord', putting Christ first over and over and over again. When He asks you to obey, I pray that your heart leaps with joy at the opportunity and that you will be abundantly blessed by it.


I love you, Babe. I love you so very deeply, and I'm so grateful that you were placed in my care for this time. I pray that together we grow more deeply in love with God. Happy Birthday, my little Sweetness!
