Favorite Quote:
“Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”-C.S. Lewis

One Day I will Be
Strong Enough to climb Mountains
Fast enough to Love

One Day I will Be
Brave enough to fight Monsters
Smart enough to Learn

One Day I will Be
Willing to put forth God's Love
Courageous one day

One Day I will Be
Smart enough to See Myself
As Jesus sees me

One Day I will Be
Teaching my children God's Ways
They will Learn to Love

One Day I will Be
Strong, Brave, Willing, Smart, Teaching
One Day I will Be
