Dearest Elizabeth. . .
Well you are finally seven. I can't believe that my little baby girl has gotten so big, where did all the time go. It's been a difficult year for you but you have come through it with flying colors. Change has always been hard for you, and you started last year at a new school, we moved, you started going to Church regularly, and made a new best friend. All changes that were hard but again you made it through and I am so proud of you.
Last year you were nervous about learning French and now it seems to flow out of you as naturally as English. You did let me cut your hair last year but now you are letting it grow long again. You've lost six of your teeth and now four have finally grown in. You look so much older but you still have that dimple that melts my heart.
You also are still my little chatter-box and I love hearing all your stories from school and activities with friends. You've gotten so much taller and have also become such a reader. I love that you love spending alone time with me and wouldn't trade our time away together for anything.
My prayer for you this year is that you would come to know Jesus as your personal saviour and begin to develop a deep personal relationship with Him. I am praying for this everyday and I am so thankful that we have Giles and Wesley who get you guys to Church when your dad and I miss the mark. My goal for myself this year is to be the ones that take you and to be there for all your questions so that if you need help to find Jesus I will be there to help. Having Him in your life makes all of the hard stuff, and all the change that we meet easier to deal with because He becomes our constant.
You see I don't do well with change either and it helps me that I have Jesus because Jesus never changes and so no matter what changes I face there is so much peace inside that He never changes and He can help me through the changes that are assailing me. I hope that you can find Him and find that same peace because life as you have learned this year is full of changes.
I love you Elizabeth and that will never change either.
