First Day

My silly, sweet, bold, patient, loving girl began 1st grade today. Her first day of a school year that I'm sure will bring many, many more firsts. I was awake most of the night, thinking about her, praying for her, both nervous and excited.

We attended Meet the Teacher last week, and I somehow still don't know ...

Where does she hang her backpack?

When will she have recess?

How will she go from 7:00 a.m. until noon without a snack?!

There is so much that is unknown, for today, for this year, and in life.

But I do know that this girl has great things waiting for her on her journey.

Today will be one of many firsts, and I know that she will conquer each and every one that comes her way. I believe in her, possibly more than I have ever believed in anyone or anything thing.

She is fierce. She is brave. She is kind and compassionate, and her ability to love and thrive has no limits. 

{ She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25 }
