I can't help this week but write about our dear sunshine -
Sophie Claire Amy!!!
I am a mom of a 10 year now!!! And I love it!!!
I know this blog is not about day to day family life but when I think of the journey I have been on throwing layers of pain away, Sophie has been a significant part of my healing in ways people will never realize.
"Because of you, Sophie...I...
1. Know God's timing is perfect
2. Love to the point I cry
3. Fight to shed layers of shame
4. Embrace quality not quantity
5. Eat birthday cake for breakfast
6. Gifts are precious to give and get
7. Trust is a gift earned
8. Eagerly pursue passions
9. Worship God outside of a box
10.Courageously advocate for the voiceless but first advocate for my children
and
...Anyone can be a mother, but to be a mom is a calling that surpasses all other callings
I love you, am proud of you, and believe in you - always.
Shine Bright for Jesus - as you have from day one.
And only for you - xoxoxoxoxo
Sweet blessings to all "Moms" who embrace their gifts from above!!
"DEAR LORD,
MAY SOPHIE GROW TO BE CONFIDENT IN HER PASSIONS, AND SHAMELESSLY COURAGEOUS. MAY SOPHIE ONLY REST IN YOUR GOODNESS NOT THE IDOL OF COMFORT. MAY SHE BE HEALTHY, AN INDEPENDENT ADULT CARING AND REACHING OUT TO OTHERS. AND MAY SHE ALWAYS KEEP HER SPIRIT ALIVE FOR YOU.
AND PLEASE REMIND ME YOU DON'T HAVE GRANDCHILDREN.
GIVE ME PEACE AND FREEDOM AND AS TIME MARCHES ON HELP ME LET GO, FOR YOUR GLORY."

This could be one of the most memorable 'gifts' you give Sophie. She can treasure this gift forever in her heart, and make sure you make a special copy she can frame to cherish anytime. Amy, God has gifted you with words to express your heart which inspires me beyond words! Thanks for sharing Sophie's birthday with us early in Michigan. love and hugs to all of you from Newport! hundreds of hugs & kisses, mom
Amy,
Happy Birthday to your sweet daughter.
Thanks for commenting on our blog. I really have been so encouraged by Laura Story and her music. How cool that you attend church with her. What a blessing.
Much love,
Jody
