Our sweet one and only baby girl is 8 years old! When did that happen???
It doesn't seem that long ago that we welcomed our precious daughter into our arms during a super fast delivery that taught us so much about trusting God's provision for His people! Today, we are still learning these lessons and teaching them to our spunky girl.
Lillian is so full of personality that comes out in everything she does. She is precise, scheduled and a bit of a perfectionist while still being a bit clumsy and disorganized. She reminds me of me!
Lillian loves doing her school work and works hard to get everything done so she has time to play and help in the kitchen. I think she has learned as much helping Daddy in the kitchen as she has from her workbooks! The kitchen has taught her to read and do a lot of math and still teaches her everytim she is in there. If you haven't figured it out, Lillian loves the kitchen and food. Cooking, baking, eating, she loves everything about the culinary world. She can even do several recipes on her own.
Lillian is incredibly brave and sure of herself, which helps alot when trying new things. By God's grace, He will use these qualities to use her for His Kingdom work. She is quick to correct mistakes in others, so we are working on politeness and respect. She also loves people. She really enjoys a crowd and being with her friends. With all of her brothers, she especially loves time with her female cousins and friends when she gets it.
Currently her favorite color is purple, her favorite subject is Latin and her favorite hobby is cooking. Lillian also enjoys singing, all things school, dancing, music, reading, and the occasional movie. She is also excellent at memorizing and loves to memorize Scripture, though currently it means very little to her. In spite being the only girl, Lillian loves playing with her brothers and telling them what to do. They have begun playing house and enjoy being a family. She is starting to talk about being a mama one day and it's precious to hear her dream.
We are so thankful for this little (or not so little) girl that God has blessed us with.
Father, thank You for the gift of Lillian! She is so precious. Father I pray that You will open her eyes and awaken her from the death of sin and into new life in You. Make her into a woman after Your own heart that desires You and Your way alone. Teach her that there is no good in herself and that without You she is dead. Thank You for how You are working and teaching her even now. I know You love her even more than we do! Make her wholly Yours!
