For my Tween Queen, who will be 12 tomorrow. Thirteen things that I pray for you:1. May your always be quick to listen and slow to speak, ever attuned to that still small voice that is the leading of the Lord.
2.May you always measure your life and conduct solely against the standard of God's word.
3.May you measure your worth not based on the opinions of friends, or even of Mom and Dad, but on who you truly are...a treasured possession of God, purchased at enormous cost.
4.May you let your light so shine before all so that they may see the good that you do and give glory to God.
5.May you see failure as a learning opportunity---not stumbling blocks, but pauses to reflect and change.
6.May you have the courage to seize each opportunity presented to you fully.
7.May you live life LOUD. Very few things are worth doing half-way.
8.May you grow closer every day in your relationship to your brothers and sister and cherish their friendships throughout your life.
9.May you grow every day in your relationship with Daddy and I...and trust us when we tell you how beautiful you are...because it's true.
10.May you always remember that your gifts and talents are from the Giver of every good and perfect gift, and steward them appropriately.
11.May you take great joy in giving and in serving others.
12.May you grow to know that peace comes from knowing the truth, not from your circumstances.
13.May you know how very, very much we love you.
