Being positive

At the age of sixteen I find that my daughter is a much stronger teenager
than I was at her age in many areas,
everyday I am more and more profoundly amazed by her.

she uses her creativity in many ways and her favorite is to make collages or
take photos from different sources and then find quotes that she likes to
go with the photo.

recently she redecorated her room
and took her favorite photos from magazines and placed quotes she liked. I tell her it is the wall of empowerment. I really love the above photo, she sees things so greatly and feels the passion. she has told me over and over how she knows the Lord will lead her to the right guy in her life when the time is right, and watching her friends that are dating and the struggles they go through seems to impact her. She is a much stronger young lady than I was at her age. She is a normal teenager with some of the same struggles in life but yet her faith keeps her grounded and sustained
In her room she also has a dry erase board where she writes a daily quote and has her friends write positive things she calls that her "Truth Box"

she awakens the feelings that over the years I simply have misplaced in my self and to be honest it is such a good feeling to be embracing those feelings again.

( thanks for all your prayers regarding her school- God has answered and she
will be returning in Aug)
