Walk tall your a daughter, a child of God.


Today I registered my baby for middle school. Holy Smokes, that is weird! A day that seemed so far off when she was a toddler and now here we are... middle school, then high school and in just six short years she is off to college. WOWZERS!
What a darling group of young woman. I am so grateful for their wonderful young woman leaders for taking them on exciting beach retreats, for organizing weekly activities, for teaching them of Christ and being examples for them to look to. Their futures are bright!

I am especially grateful for the friendship they share. I know that middle school can be rough, but I pray that their friendships will be strong and that they will influence each other for good. I think by looking at how they are dressed, it is safe to say they are off to a good start. Aren't they beautiful, beautiful daughters of God! Thank you Lorna for capturing such precious moments.

It was fun to spend some time at the beach with the girls. I took some pictures too. I'll have to send them to you. I'll probably post some of them on my blog in a few days.

I really feel strongly about these girls and there sweet spirits. I hope they stay strong and form a bond now that is strong with love and morales and standards that help them as they continue to grow in this world.

I also noticed how they are dressed -- sooo heartwarming to see. They are a good group of girls -- can't help but smile when you see them together.

I can only hope that my kids will have as good of a group of friends when they hit those teenage years. They are amazing!

Oh, yes, it's SO refreshing to see a group of girls who are all modest and happy and have "the light" in their eyes. I hope I can live somewhere in the future where my kids will have good friends like that.
