thankful for this sweet girl

sometimes the relationship of mother-daughter can be a tough one.  mar and i butt heads often...she has opinions and so do i.  lately, though, i have been so thankful for this dear daughter God has given us and all her busy, wild, silly, joyful, dramatic ways.  she makes me laugh...on our last creeking adventure, she requested help with her net: "can you help me mommy?  i know it's not women's business, but please?"  what?  where did that come from?  narnia probably.  she makes me cry when she tells me with rapture about her beautiful dream of church in heaven where she saw our baby. 

warming up for her spring violin concert
she has worked hard to learn several songs this year and will often say dramatic things like "i want to play every instrument in the world!"  ok, sweets, let's work on this one for now:)
loves her fair share of creeking adventure...this is right before the crawldad pinched her
this is the spectrum of her day yesterday...holding alligator in the morning
fancy princess party in the afternoon

thank you Jesus for this good gift...give me wisdom and love above all to be her mommy...cover all my inadequacies with your grace.  love you precious girl!
