LETTERS TO LILY ::10 Things I Want My Daughter To Know::

cccccccffbdfbhfdsb Lily Ann: What a gift you are to those around you. As you're aware, you melt my heart daily through every glance, breath, sneeze, fart, and movement. I have been emailing you notes, letters, pictures, and videos prior to you being born til now - and will continue to do so in order for you to possibly revisit them one day, check them out while you progress into becoming the beautiful and talented young woman you were meant to be, age to where I am one day, then become the greatness God intends for you during your lifetime. You're going to be one years old in a few weeks, and after reading an article a friend shared, I was inspired to share a few tokens of advice that I will not be short of during your amazing life. You are starting to not only crawl, but climb, laugh, try to speak (even sing), and while you're learning these basic maneuvers - you have inspired me to learn and notice more purpose through your existence

Choose Joy

Read Habakkuk 1:1 through 3:19 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior (Habakkuk 3:18). When a verse begins with the word “yet,” readers realize there is more to come. It means the previous statement isn’t complete. Think of the times that word is used. “We may be losing, yet the game’s not over.” “Your grades could be better, yet the semester isn’t over.” In the use of “yet” in Habakkuk 3:18, readers are connected to the previous thought.

He knew so much more awaited. Habakkuk took time to remember what God had done in the past. He then honestly declared the present situation. But he confessed more. He chose to depend on

Sweet Rewards

Celebrating and reminiscing post Man Camp (www.crossroads.net) "high" at one of my favorite places (Nation in Pendleton). Each time I garner more of what God's plan & purpose is through how he speaks into my heart through other Godly men. How sweet it is the story He is writing for you. We were made from dirt, but are of much ability & value - transformed into something strong, beautiful, and worthy. Live His pattern and not the world's de ceptive plans. You can deny convention and will defy odds. Spark revolutions, and join His crusade to conquer men's (and women's) hearts for Jesus. Disciple God's word through intentional action. Have willpower when you experience obstacles. Tell the enemy he has no place in your life or others. Be a warrior for your family and know God has great plans for you. Make bold declarations and abide in His will for sweet rewards. In faith,
