She's not a little girl, nor a teenager even!


Jessica turned 20 yesterday, no more a teenager. ( I wish I had a more recent picture of her on my computer...this picture is two years old!).
In two weeks she'll be moving out for good to an apartment in Lawrence. The past two years with her at college and then home for the summers, have been preparing us (maybe more than her) for this transition.
No one has a perfect child, but we were blessed beyond measure with her! Since I only had one child (would have loved to have more, but it wasn't in my destiny) I'm so grateful that the one child we have is everything Jessica has become. Here's to Jess and her life ahead! This is a Bible verse that I marked a long time ago in Bible specifically for her.

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. An I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power together with all the saits, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

Ephesians 3:16-19
