Brooklyn

My Darling Brooklyn,

It amazes me how fast you are growing up. I can't believe that just over six years ago, you became my baby. There are so many things I want to say, but I have a hard time putting them into words.

You are so kind. You jump at the chance to make someone happy if they're upset.

You're always willing to help. Whether it be in helping your sisters, or cousins, get their jackets done up, or helping me set the table. You can't wait to help me cook.
You love your family so much. Tonight you asked Daddy how we got married. When Daddy got to the part about kissing you actually said, "Ewww". I couldn't believe it. I know you don't like kissing, but I didn't think you would say that about Mommy and Daddy kissing :)
I am so proud of you, sweetheart! You are doing awesome in your school work and I couldn't ask for a better, more tenderhearted little/big girl.

"Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow
So quiet down cobwebs, Dust go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep."

I kept thinking that a big change was coming... like Trevor's job, or a new house or something big like that. But I realize now, that the big change that I was yearning for was not external. It was internal. I feel God changing me. I know it's not going to be all at once... but in the past few weeks I have felt a big change. He's changing my heart.

I felt content for a couple weeks (which is huge for me). Now my heart is yearning for another change, but I don't want to express it just yet, if ever. I don't know if it's from God, or just part of my flesh. I'm praying about it, and trying not to dwell on it, but to dwell on thoughts that are true and pure.

Also, I've got lots of knitting projects going on right now... I'm just finishing up another pair of mitts. I'm making a scarf with a new kind of knitting for me. And I'm going to make a baby something-or-other ;) not for me, in case you're wondering :) lol THAT would be a miracle!

Luke 6:45

The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart.

For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
