To Katie




20!!!!! So now I guess I'll agree you are one of those "a" words...(calm down everyone I mean adult) she was just never allowed to say that in my house!

You have been and brought great joy to this litte family! You may not know it but I was trying to get pregnant with you...then one night...sorry just teasing you..no then one night your dad said I thought you wanted another baby...I said I thought you did...we better start being careful! But God...(there are those words I've come to love) knew we needed you and much to our surprise I was already pregnant...you did whoever make me the sickest of all your siblings! Yep...I think I started throwing up before I knew and I did the day you were born and everyday in between!

You are such a funny person! You have the ability to bring laughter into a room and make it contagous! You know, I've told you many times you are one of my heros! (just as your brother and sisters are)...to watch you walk with the Lord...to trust Him so much at such a young age...that makes you a hero in this momma's eyes!

I look forward to seeing you future play out before us all...to see you marry...have your own family...to serve the Lord beside your husband...to teach you childen about the Lord...You know really the truth is that you, Cassie, Heather and Michael are the ones who taught me...sorry it had to be that way but so thankful that God's grace in you lives was big enough for you to be able to do that...Know these things, I love you so much, I'm proud of the WOMAN you have become, I'll be your biggest prayer warrior (besides your daddy) and...as long as I'm living my baby you'll be!!!! You have a fantastic day sweet girl!
