Happy 21st Birthday, My Sweet One!

Alicia turned 21 today! I can recall some days in those turmultuous teenage years that I wasn't so sure she would make it this far. She has brought me to my knees in prayer so many times, and now I drop to my knees in thanksgiving for her safe, healthy, and much more happy outlook on life.

I thank each one of you who have prayed for my sweet oldest child. I do not doubt that your prayers coupled with ours are what have carried her this far.

I look to the future now, with hopes of a wonderful life. A life that she deserves and that she will embrace as God reveals it to her.

I love you so much, Alicia. You are the one who transformed me from a selfish young woman into a mother and in turn, towards my vocation in life. I thank God for you every single day!
