Oh my God! I need tissues when I come upon your gift of expression...so deeply this touches my heart...we worry so about our daughters....and the love is so much deeper... bless you Amanda
She's lucky to have you care so much. The world is scary but I'm sure you'll do a great job of setting her free with all the tools she needs for an amazing life.
This brought tears to my eyes, which to anyone who know me is big seeing how I am not particularly emotional. I had my 'version' of things pulled out from under me recently and you immediately look to your children and their 'now' and their 'future'. So I understand the depth of it. How the very core of you is affected. Don't know what your circumstances are, but I will pray for you. Your daughter by the way is beautiful and her hair!!!!
Nice Amanda...beautiful and truthful journaling. I think every parent has similar concerns...similar worries...there are some days I wish I could go back and start over so I can "get it right this time". Take comfort that she is young and you have a long time to "get it right". Just being conscious of all the things you journaled is a huge step in the right direction...she's lucky to have you as a mom...just keep going and keep praying!
been sitting on this photo for a while. it just seemed to go with my thoughts tonight. the butterfly is the tatoo i got tonight... it signifies being set free of deception and things your circumstances in life have lead you to believe... being set free into truth. i (unexpectedly) got pretty emotional about it and suddenly anyone i knew that could relate to my testimony in any way was so heavy on my heart that i was almost in tears. and of course, my sweet alyssa... oh my gosh... the fear and worry that comes with this little girl facing this world can just sometimes be too much.
JOURNALING: I thought of you today. To be honest, it doesn't really matter what day we're on. It doesn't matter what time it is or where we happen to be at any given moment. Your well-being, your safety, your comfort... it is first on my mind. I worry about you everyday. I pray that your innocence will last and that your strength will way surpass my own. I pray that your voice is loud and heard and that your sense of love and validation is given so freely by Daddy and me that it literally defines you. And when we fall short in providing any of these things, may we teach you where and how to look for and find them.
