MADISON IS 15
(Madison and her friend Claire shopping at the mall...spending hours trying on clothes.....being a girl is the best!!)
Oh my goodness...I have a daughter that is 15 years old!! I cannot believe that this can be true! She was just in kindergarten 5 minutes ago! Now, 5 minutes later, she is 1/2 way through her freshman year of high school! Wow, this is a new journey for the both of us. I always tell her...."Madison, you have never been 15 years old before and I have never been the mom of a 15 year old!" "We are trudging through these unchartered waters together!"
And, it has been quite a prayerful journey indeed. One that constantly reminds me how prayerful these years need to be in a child's life. I keep telling Madison that Daddy and I are always praying through all of our decisions for her and hopefully we are hearing our Lord's True Will.
He has, however, been pretty easy on me, as her freshman year has gone amazingly well (thinking about the whole first year of high school thing got me a bit panicky.....well, okay truthfully I was petrified!!)
Madison is such a strong and Christ-filled girl! Every Christian mother worries about her children becoming lost in this world. Madison has stayed so strong in her faith! I praise Jesus for that gift of faith each and every day as I continue to pray that Madison keeps close to Christ throughout her entire life.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADISON
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER UNDERSTAND
(I always tell Madison, that she made me into a mommy)
