Fine China
I posted a while ago about how Avery and I were going to be Secret Keeper Girls or SKG. It is a fun activity to do with your daughters to teach them the truth about real beauty and modesty.
We had our first SKG date today. We talked about how we are masterpieces created by God. We went and had tea and a fancy little pastry shop. The lesson asked how we are living our lives. As styrofoam cups, that get thrown away, ceramic mugs, that are plain and ordinary, or like fine china, that are unique and masterpieces. It was amazing to spend that time with Avery and help her understand what a true masterpiece she is and to help her see the value in herself and that God's value of her never changes.
The best part for me was when we were done with our date, walking out to the car and she said to me "I liked doing that, it made me feel really special." I am looking forward to our next date.

:o(.... (Tears!) That was so sweet! How important those lessons are and what an impact they will have on her life in the future. We don't always see the fruits of our efforts immediately, but those lessons WILL someday become precious in her heart. She will never forget them, even when we think she has.
That is so great Kristin...what a cool thing to do. I actually clicked on the web site to check it out and it's looks like alot of fun and also a great way to have a postive christian impact on your 8-12 yaer old daughter. I'm so gonna do it wit Irelynne when she gets of age!!
I wish so bad that we lived closer to one another. I could really use more christian friends and ones that have a good postive impact in my life. I feel so alone within my group of friends because most are not christian or they are very luke warm!! I feel like I can't talk with them about lots of issues because they are so not on the same page as me and I need someone that can relate to me and keep me going as well.
I MISS YOU!!
I MISS YOU TOO WANZ! So so so much!
