1. knowing that my baby girl is exactly where the Lord placed her
& with the group of people He wanted her to be with.
this truly is an answer to prayer.
(on that note, thank you to all of the sorority sisters that came out of hiding & said hello yesterday. she's going to love reading those comments!)

6. and finally, this most fabulous commentary on the book and the movie
The Help
by my kindred spirit, Sibi....
here's a portion of her entry, in her words
"One of my favorite parts of the movie (there are SO many) is the first time Aibileen says to Mae Mobley...here's a portion of her entry, in her words
"You is kind. You is smart. You is important. "
Our children have deep wells within that hold and remember the words we speak over them.
I have to speak more life. I have to take motherhood up a few more notches.
More goodness. More love. More wisdom. More encouragement.
Because the world is sitting on ready to tell them otherwise.
Maybe Skeeter had the courage to write and fulfill her calling because of the years of life Constantine had spoken over her as a child."
amen sister, amen!
