Finley Turns 4

My big girl turns 4!

I'm going to be honest.... this was definitely the most difficult birthday. I can't look at my now 4-year-old and believe that she is the same little girl that grew inside of my body, the same little baby who stole her daddy's heart the minute they locked eyes, or the same little girl who was able to instantly rock my world and change my life forever the instant I held her in my arms, silencing her first cry on this earth. Finley is truly a gift and I am more than blessed to be her Momma.

Finley Celeste,
You are such a beautiful girl with a big, beautiful heart. I'm so proud to be your Momma. You are such a great big sister, such a kind friend, and a wonderful child of God. I makes me so happy to see you play with your sister. You are so patient, so loving, so kind with her. It breaks your heart to see her hurt or to hear her cry. You will be such a great Mommy one day, because you are so loving with your baby sister. You are also such a great friend. You are patient and you share. You love learning and playing at school with friends and you are very good at helping others when they don't understand. Most importantly, Fin, is your radical love for God. You know He lives in your heart and it makes me so happy to hear you talk to Him so freely in your prayers. He is so proud of you and He will continue to grow you into the woman who desires Him.

There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not proud of you... I love you as big as this whole world.
Love, Momma
