all 4 Him: let them see Him in you...

Gracious Sakes! How could I ever begin to describe what this little beauty means to us or how she has changed our lives forever. We love her for so many reasons. She is meek and mild tempered. She is kind and compassionate. She is determined and strong. She has a big heart and a beautiful smile. Her eyes sparkle and her little voice is lovely. Her patience amazes me and she is unbelievably smart. She is sensitive yet fearless and FUNNY! She loves to sing and dance. She loves to play dress up and say she's a queen. She is extremely girly and is painfully passionate about her makeup and fyfy. It's just like our girl to take a back seat, but in a humble way always becomes the center of attention. We wouldn't change one thing about her. She is our favorite girl. She is Greenlee.

My prayer for my entire family is that people would see Jesus in us. Please God…let them see Jesus in our precious little girl. Thank you Jesus for our precious little girl!!!
