Today, my firstborn daughter, Claire, turns 23!
Bright, beautiful, wise, ambitious, brave, strong, rooted
are a few words that describe my beautiful girl.
I'm excited to see what this year holds for her.
Whatever happens, she is faithful and trusting of the Lord
His timetable and His ways.
We make plans and pray they work out, and often they don't.
It's confusing and disappointing.
Claire has worked so hard, and when these bumps happen, she's
always been able to pivot and work through it.
She pushes on.
She has a pioneer spirit, and I love her so much for it.
Happy Birthday, my little Toad!
I'm counting down the days until I see you for Thanksgiving!
