Sometimes when I'm feeling sorry for myself, my daughter(16) gives me a wake up call about how lucky I am.

She just called me to let me know that the city wide youth Christian rally she attended tonight was over. She said they were at Subway eating and then headed back to our church. She said that she and her friend recommitted their lives to God and they were going to our church to meet with our youth minister.

I'm sitting here crying as I type this. I'm not sure what I did to deserve such a great kid. I know we are supposed to be humble, but I'm just so proud of her.




Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.
