My oldest treasure NEVER agrees to getting photos.
In fact, last week I asked her to come out to the leaves with her sister.
She cried because her favorite jeans were dirty
AND SO
I just abandon my plan to get pictures with her.
BUT..
last night she was awarded the Tri-Delt award for the Varsity Volleyball team.
She didn't let us get pictures of her at school,
but agreed to a few at home.
The Tri-Delt award is given to a player who demonstrates
leadership,
christian character,
and a solid work ethic.
Our teenager started varsity all year.
She didn't get to play as much with her same age friends.
(She is a jr high student.)
She was able to play with some wonderful older athletes,
but it was tough at times.
I am so proud of the way that the Lord is working in her life.
I am glad that she attends a school where teaching character and Christian living is highly regarded and not just an after thought. She is growing so much-changing and maturing everyday. I am blessed to be her momma and love to see how her heart is tending toward the things of the Lord. Can't wait to see what the Lord does with her in this life. We are so blessed to know Him and be able to raise our children to know and serve Him. Truly passing Him on to my children is one of my greatest pleasures!
Awesome!!! Congratulations Emily!!! We are so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteHi, Friend! I can't believe I found your blog (we met at the FCC picnic) through a friend of mine back in Michigan! So happy to hear that you have another daughter coming home next year, and I can't wait to keep up on your journey to Anna Mei!
ReplyDeleteI love how God works. I have thought about you often since meeting your family. I even blogged about meeting your L and how she touched my heart. Hope to reconnect in person soon.
