“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” ~ Proverbs 22:6 I started praying for our sweet girl before she was even born. As the years passed, the prayers continued, but the changed according to the stages of her life.

I also find myself praying that the Lord will bring the right people into her life to help her grow in…
