Things I Want for You

As I was nearing the end of my pregnancy, all I could think about was Taylor and what she would be like… what kind of personality she would have, what she would look like, what her likes and dislikes would be.  So I did what I always do when I can’t get something out of my head… I wrote it down.  And as I went back to reread it, I realized that these are the same things I want for my own life and for all of the people I love, so I thought I would share! Happy Friday, I hope you all have fabulous weekends!

Baby Girl- What I want for you:

I want you to grow to be healthy and strong.

I want you to feel loved.

I want you to know God in a deeply personal way.

I want you to be smart, hardworking and driven,

But also to know how to have fun and let your hair down.

I want you to skin your knee, and then get up and brush it off.

I want you to have lifelong friends- and new friends- and friends that you would do anything for.

I want you to feel beautiful, inside and out.

I want you to know that pain is inevitable, but persevering through the pain and heartache of life will lead to a richer existence.

I want you to know and love and treasure the feeling of home,

But also to explore the world with unceasing abandon.

I want you to love others and treasure what they have to teach you.

I want you to find your passions in life, to try out new hobbies and find things you love to do

I want you to try new things, but also to be bold in defending what you love.

I want you to stand with conviction for the things that are important to you.

I want you to celebrate things… big and small.

I want all the things in the world for you, but I also really want you to know that the things that matter most require hard work and perseverance.

I want you to be YOU.
