We celebrated our sweet Amy girl this weekend with a family party...



some fun presents...


and...what she really wanted...a weekend away with me!! :-)


We left the blustery weather and headed down to the beach for a few days away...just the two of us.


We stayed at a super fun hotel...right on the beach...that had a huge indoor waterpark!
With the weather unpredictable for the weekend, it was so fun to have a warm (albeit steamy) place to play!

We also had some yummy meals...


complete with ice cream sundaes, of course! 


But the best part of the entire weekend was the time we had to talk about God's Word.
Amy wanted a purity ring for her eleventh birthday...so we figured it would be a good time to share what purity - from God's standpoint - actually is.

We spent our time talking about Psalm 51:10

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.


As we walked along the beach...searching for shells...we talked about God's perfect design for our lives...


to live in fellowship with Him...



having a pure heart.



It was a beautiful weekend...full of treasured memories and sweet fellowship!!!







For we are God's masterpiece.
 He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, 
so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10

Amy Girl...that is how we think of you...
His masterpiece. His workmanship. His creation. His delight.

As each year passes by we see His beautiful brush strokes adding to your life.



Your love for Him.
Your passion for people.
Your joy in making others laugh.
Your thirst for knowledge and truth.

Your willingness to confess.



You are sunshine and delight, our sweet girl...
even in the midst of the varying trials
you have had come into your life this past year.
Opportunities for Him to add to your masterpiece.



We  pray that your heart and life will continue to remain steadfast in Him...
that your masterpiece will bring all glory to Him...
and that you will always know how much your mommy and daddy love you!!!
Happy 11th Birthday, darling girl!!!
