14 Years Of Amazing

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made

Psalms 139 :14

14 years ago, we were handed a ticket for a roller coaster ride full of excitement, love, laughter, and pure craziness. We became parents for the first time to an amazing, wonderful and smart brown eyed girl. As I look at the picture above I see what is in store for Jess. Dreams and goals that are as big as the ocean. I know that whatever Jessie does it will be done with perfection. That is how she roles!

Jessie is an amazing kid. She is brilliant and creative. Loving and hard headed. Gracious and smart-mouthed. She loves her brother and sister with all she has. Her willingness to take care of them is amazing.  

She has faith in God, that I wish I had when I was her age. The verse under the photo is her favorite. I think it speaks volumes about her confidence and trust in the Lord.  She was fearfully and wonderfully made. She was made just for us. God placed Jessie in our lives unexpectedly. She was a shocker and continues to shock us daily! 

She is beyond strong. Jess has moved the most of our three kids. She does it with a strength that I can't begin to imagine having. Everywhere we go she fits in. She makes friends and smiles lots. I have no fear about sending her off to college in 4 years. She is independent, smart, and adventurous and is going to do great things. Scott and I are very excited about planning her future with her. Being with her every step of the way. Helping make sure her dreams come true, no matter how big. 

I love you Jessie Helen. You are and will always be my favorite brown eyed girl! I love the spirit and laughter you bring to our family. Continue being who you are, because you are awesome!!! I hope you know that we have your back always, we are your best friends forever!!!

Gracefully I look up, thankful for the ultimate blessing from God.....our Jessie!!!!
