Homecoming
I sure do think this creative dating is fun! I think they were just starting to do it when I was in high school. Kelsey is so PICKY about how she answers! I was in Wal Mart for a hour trying to help her figure out a great way to say yes!
WE ended up getting a big yellow dump truck and put a box of honey buns in it and a sign that said..........You can haul my honey buns to the dance!.......Pretty cute!
She is at a new school this year and was super nervous she wouldn't get asked. She did, and now we are on the hunt for a modest dress! I want her to borrow or rent...........sounds easy right? When she is a size 2, flat chested and 5 feet tall, this is hard! They are all at least 6 inches too long or strapless. He is her height! So she can't wear heels haha.We are not giving up! She is going to go look again today at some other gals houses.
I am so proud of my beautiful girl. She has always been the kind of girl who sees people for all they are, not just their looks. She is going with the nicest kid. She says she got the best guy taking her to the dance. She has had a lot of fun dating in high school. She has done a lot more than I ever did. She has made some solid friendships through all the dances and group dates she has been on. She is very fortunate to have all this experience. I am grateful she hasn't been seriously involved with anyone. Takes the stress off me. We sure do love our girl. She is a choice spirit for sure!
Last night when she came home from the football game, she talked of all the players that she gave an encouraging hug to after they lost the game. DO these girls know the difference they can make in a young mans life for good? I hope so!
She came home to a letter waiting for her from her friend on a mission. To hear her read me his letter, hear his testimony and the expression of his gratitude for her constant support and uplifting words made my heart swell! He told her "you are so solid Kels, Solid in the Gospel. Reading your testimony in all your letters has made mine grow in so many ways."
Sometimes the things that really matter are the simplist! She sure has had her share of loneliness and rejection as well as heartache and disapointment.
Life doesn't always make sense when we are experiencing disapointments and heartache. We can find ourselves asking "why me?" The Lord has a plan for us! He loves us and is so aware of our situations. I see him bless my girl everyday with what she needs. He knows her. He loves her. He will always bless her as long as she is faithful. Thank you Dear Lord for helping her feel special and loved as she makes others feel special and loved. We are all really here to lift each other up! Encourage each other! Love each other.
Who's on the Lords side? Those who love another as he has loved them.
Make it a great day!
