I can't believe that you are seven years old today. I remember May 4, 2004 like it was yesterday. I was so happy to be having my first child. Your Daddy and I had prayed for a baby and God blessed us with you. To say I was shocked at how BIG you were would be an understatement. 9 pounds was crazy to me. But I was so glad you were here. To be able to meet you finally and hold you was the best feeling a Mama could ever have.
And now here we are seven years later.
My prayers have changed for you over the years and I am sure they will continue to change. From the day you were born I prayed that one day you would come to know Jesus as your personal Savior. And November 21, 2010 that prayer was answered!
I am so proud of you. The change that Jesus made in your life was evident from the very beginning. I am so happy that Jesus has made such an impact in your life already.
I pray now that you will allow Him to continue to change and mold you into a woman that impacts the world for Christ.
You tell me often that you want to be an missionary/teacher when you grow up. To know that you are even aware of the fact that being a missionary is an option for you is so incredible to me. I am so proud that you have a heart for the nations at this age and I pray that never ends.
I pray that the Lord teaches me how to equip you to be able to serve Him in what ever He calls you to do. And if it is a missionary I pray He shows me how to trust Him to take care of you and protect you through all of it.
As your Mom I have learned so much. How to play dress up, how to listen to the singing of songs that I've never heard and will probably never hear again, how to be a girly girl, and most of all how to love with a love that is unconditional.
I love you sweet girl and I am so glad that God blessed me with you.
Happy 7th Birthday, Jordyn!
Mama
