Seeker

We found her this way, at bedtime prayers, all tucked up in her window sill. She was poring over her Answers magazine, taking in more and more evidence for Creation. She has a strong will, this one; they say that quality develops a leader. We're witnessing it already and though it's been a struggle to figure out how to parent this beauty, we are overwhelmed with thankfulness for how she is maturing. That desire for control and demand for reasons for our decisions, have caused her to search things out for herself. Her conclusion? ...that an all-powerful God has created her and designed this world and that she has a very profound purpose in her life.

May you always keep seeking, Meghan, because it will lead you closer to your Maker and clarify the path you are to walk.
