Happy Birthday to my sweet Lauren
May you always know you are loved deeply.
This song by Mark Harris sums up some of what I am feeling today as I think of the next few (and last) months left with you under our roof:
Find Your Wings
It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I pray for all that you might do
But most of all I want to know you're walking in the truth
And if I've never told you
I want you to know,
That as I watch you grow
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So, let my love give you roots,
And help you find your wings.
May passion be the wind that leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong,
Guide you on your way.
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
But more than memories
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So, let my love give you roots,
And help you find your wings.
It's not living, if you don't reach for the sky.
I'll have tears as you take off,
But I'll cheer as you fly.

Happy Birthday Lauren! 17 is fun. I remember it well. I also remember growing and learning a lot about life and who I am and where God fits me into the world. I hope this is a great year for you too. Love you and miss you!
