My sweet emi. I am so proud of you. It’s hard for me to believe that you are just weeks from wrapping up middle school and moving on to high school. So many times I look at you, I catch myself thinking you are still my angel baby, carrying around all your things. And smiling. Always smiling.
You have always been my happy, sanguine child. Just like daddy Gregg and his granddaddy. Both of them always had such a happy disposition. You look just like him. I saw it just the other day. You made a face & something with your mouth made me think…wow, she still looks just like him. I think it was a special gift to me that the Lord created you with so many similarities to daddy Gregg. I know he is so proud of you too.
I have often said that you have such a loyal heart. You remind me of Lucy in The Chronicles of Narnia, & not just because of her cute bob! Just like Lucy, you always find the good in people. You are so quick to forgive and you never hold a grudge. You have a loyal heart and a tender spirit. Your sweet, cheerful disposition is delightful. You are encouraging and genuinely make others feel loved.
I love your that you have a heart for the Lord. I love to see you worship Him. The scripture says He delights over you & surely He does that indeed. I love that you have a tenderness for spiritual things. Each morning I smile when I hear you getting ready for school while listening to worship songs. His words and His promises will take root in your heart and then blossom through you while you are away.
Speaking of being away~ Dad & I are thrilled that you are going on your first mission trip to Peru!!! I can hardly wait for you to go & come home to share all about everything! I know the Lord is going to awesome things both in and through you. I’m so proud of you for going. For being available. For serving and loving on others. You will be a light. You will be the hands of feet of Jesus.
You are going to have a great time in high school! My prayer for you is that you will continue to be that loyal fun friend to those that the Lord has placed in your life, but that you will also make wise choices. I pray you will be a light to those around you, drawing others to the gracious love of Jesus. I also pray that you guard your heart.
You are full of purpose and destiny. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are beautiful and have His heart for His people. No weapon formed against you will ever prosper. You are loved, cherished and adored.
I’m so proud to be Emi’s mom. Everyone loves you sweet girl. I pray that I learn to love you better. I pray you know that I am always here for you. & most definitely, I will always support you and be your #1 cheerleader.
I love you angel baby!
