Our daughter turned ten today. Double digits! It feels like such a milestone as we see her growing into a strong, confident, and kind young lady. This past year has been filled with dreams and opportunities, and my wife and I have loved cheering her on every step of the way.
Our kiddo’s heart for others continues to amaze us. Whether it’s helping a friend, being a leader at school, or simply bringing light and joy to those around her, she reflects the love of Christ in ways that inspire me as a parent.
Today, as we celebrated with her favorite cake and lots of laughter, I prayed that God would continue to guide her steps. My wife and I are committed to nurturing her faith and reminding her that she is God’s masterpiece, created for great things.

Lord, thank You for the privilege of raising our daughter and for the joy she brings to our family. Teach me to nurture her gifts and to guide her in becoming the person You’ve created her to be. Bless her with courage, faith, and a heart that shines brightly for You. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
