Lexi turned 7 years old yesterday, November 30th. We spent the afternoon at the roller rink today with 18 little girls celebrating her birthday. Wild times!
I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. She cried before she was even fully "out", and was not happy about her birth experience from what I could tell. Even though she was fiesty, she was beautiful. We had not decided on a name for her until she was born. We had been leaning toward calling her Kylie, but when I saw her Alexa seemed like a better fit. I had prayed long and hard for God to give me the right name for her. Alexa means "helper of mankind" and God has truly given her a very sensative heart for others. Her heart is often burdened with the needs of others and she is so in love with Jesus. Just a side note, Caden called her Kylie for a whole week though because I had been talking about that name. He was only 18 months old and it just broke my heart at the time that I had changed things on him. It's funny now!
I love you Alexa, with all my heart! I pray that God will use your compassionate heart and your strong will for his glory! I pray that you will always love Jesus as much as you do now and more. I pray that you will always know that you are precious in His sight and are so loved by your mommy and daddy. You are my precious gift from God and I cherish you. I pray that you will not be anxious about anything as you continue to learn to present your requests before Him who is always faithful. I pray that God will fill your mind with whatever is true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, and gracious. The best and not the worst; the beautiful and not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. (Phil 4) Daddy and I are so proud of you! You are a sweet sister and a great friend. Everyone is drawn to you because you shine for Him! Happy 7th Birthday!
Love ~ Mommy

May He give you the desires of your heart for this precious adorable girl beautiful girl! May you find the favor of HIM Who dwelt in the burning bush Deut 33:16 as you pass on to this little one what is on your beautiful heart Kristin! It is so obvious the grace of God on your life and the deep joy you have in being Alexa's mother out of all the women in all the world. Alexa is so blessed to have YOU for a mom.

She is so pretty and that is a great smile.
May God bless her with a wonderful life full of a deep passion and love for Him. May God bring her a husband that is a mighty warrior of God and who loves Alexa deeply and faithfully.
May she be a mommy blessed with healthy God fearing children.
And may she know from an early age what God has called her to be.
Much love,
Kim

Kristin, God has dawned on you with His faith, His presence. Deut. 33:2. Your good God hears your cry, the cry of your heart. Deut. 33:7. You are so precious to me Kristin. Your heart just overflows. I just love your childlike humility. Do you know who I am?? Come post on my blog and tell me you guessed who I was. Smile.
