Congratulations, my beautiful girl! Mommy is so incredibly proud of you. I admire you deeply. I see you as a person all your own, separate from me. I wish I had someone like you growing up, but I’m beyond grateful that I get to have you in my life now.

You inspire me with your grace, natural talent, and kind heart. You truly have it all. I want to give you everything I never had, and while I tried so hard, there were times I didn’t succeed. That’s when I turned my life over to God. He’s the one who carries us both.

I know you weren’t happy when I pulled you out of school, but I could see the enemy trying to interfere with God's plan for your life. I’m so thankful for that insight. I know it was tough and unfamiliar territory, but look at you now—10th grade and attending UNC Chapel Hill. The youngest person on campus choosing your own classes and creating your own path!

As the scripture says, “And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:45)

God is truly showing His power. Like I always say, "It’s just the beginning. Trust God. I can feel it—beyond anything we can imagine!" Amen.
