I am now the mother of two teenagers.
Make that fabulous teenagers.
(I love these years — I am so honored to walk besides my kids)
I love her. She was born exactly one week after my grandmother — named Laurella — died. She was balm for an aching heart. Where there was sorrow she brought joy. One of the sweetest pictures I have of her when she was first born was of my grandfather holding her tightly. He had been married to my grandmother for over 60years.
Beautiful.
loves to laugh

Chloe, happy 13th birthday growing child of God.
I pray a blessing on you in this the beginning of your teenage years. Jesus, brother, bless Chloe, guide her footsteps as she walks in this new area of life. Transform her into the person You have created her to be. Allow her to be quick to listen, slow to anger and speach. Guide her thoughts and actions. Bless her in the daily chores of life. Thank you Jesus, thank you as You walk beside her holding her hand and guiding her every moment.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ I step forth and pray. Amen.
