2012 Letter

Dear Alex and Reagan,
As the new year starts, my mind and heart spin with goals...personal and family!
May each calendar year find us more like Christ!! I love both of you so much that I can't imagine God loving you more, but He does! His love is unconditional, unwavering, 100% at all times. I pray you will both know His grace forgiveness and live in the freedom He gives. His plan for you is unfolding daily and it fills my heart with GREAT joy!
A fairly new song by The Sidewalk Prophets gives my goals for you for 2012 words...May you both "Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope. You're gonna do great things, I already know. God's got His hand on you so don't live life in fear. Forgive and forget but don't forget why you're here. Take your time and pray. Thank God for each day. These are the words I would say, from one simple life to another."
Your Daddy has inspired me, leading me spiritually. I am going to read thru the Bible this year, chronologically. I am going to read at least 30 books, some fiction and some spiritually challenging. You both have nice Bibles now. I am commited to having a guided quiet time with each of you every day, fostering you into a life centered in Christ. We will continue memorizing scripture, hiding His Word in our hearts.
My children, what a blessing you both are. You are wonderfully made by a creative Creator. May you know Him intimately and live a life that pleases Him...I pray our family lives out a bold testimony and brings much Glory to God in 2012!
I love you both,
Mama

Forgive me for reading a letter intended for your precious children. I too was blessed with your words and will hold the standards high for myself. I truly want to be a Godly, loving example for your children as well as others whose paths I cross. Thank you for being the wife, mother, daughter, and Christian example to others that you are. I love you! Mother
