This One is Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Created by a loving Father who sings "Princess" over her heart.

Shaped and formed, a jar of clay, to shine redemption into the world.

Although she took her first breath an ocean away, we've known her for nearly half her life now.

Through a long, hard labor ... she became a sister and a daughter.

This becoming a daughter is never easy. Not for you, or for me.

It's messy ... And fun ... Just a bit crazy.

And so very, very beautiful.

Today we celebrate Katya's 14th birthday. This daughter of ours.

 Happy birthday, Sweetheart!

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.  Jeremiah 1:5
