I'm thinking that might officially be a 'tween'...
eek....
and she doesn't know it but we are surprising her with
yikes...
a.party.at.the.mall...
yes I know...I might be crazy...
but it will be 100% chaperoned by ME
(yeah, I know, not cool mom! I know)
and there is only be 5 tween girls
and they will have a 'plan'...
it's going to be a scavenger hunt at the mall...
so no free roaming tweens on my watch!
here is my prayer for our baby girl today....
adapted from Psalm 139
O Lord, you have searched her and known her.You know when she sits down and when she wakes up; you discern her thoughts from far away. You search out her path and her lying down, and You know all her ways. Even before a word is on her tongue, O Lord, you know it completely. You protect her, You are behind and before her, and your hand is upon her. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it. Where can she go from your spirit? Or where can she flee from your presence? If she ascends to heaven, you are there; if she makes her bed, you are there. If she takes the winds of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead her, and your right hand shall hold her fast. If she says, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light around me become night," even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you. It was You who formed her inward parts; you knit her together in my womb. I praise you, for she is fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. Her frame was not hidden from you, when she was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld her unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for her, when none of them as yet existed.... Search her, O God, and know her heart; test her and know her thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in her, and lead her in the way everlasting.
Yes, the LORD has done amazing things for us! What joy!'
Psalm 126:3...Madison's Miracle Verse...
What a Joy is right...you are a sweet treasure from God and he has wonderful plans for your life!

Happy Birthday to Madison! You are so lucky to have her and she is lucky to have you and Beau as her parents! What a beautiful prayer for her! Here is another one from Grannie Jan:
(Where the word is "him" think "her".)
O Lord! Make this youth radiant, and confer Thy bounty upon this poor creature. Bestow upon him knowledge, grant him added strength at the break of every morn and guard him within the shelter of Thy protection so that he may be freed from error, may devote himself to the service of Thy Cause, may guide the wayward, lead the hapless, free the captives and awaken the heedless, that all may be blessed with Thy remembrance and praise. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful. - 'Abdu'l-Bahá
Much love from Grannie Jan!
