I pray that this Tuesday finds you doing well. It’s hard to believe that it’s the second week in May. It seems like these last few months have flown by. I look at the kids in my class and see that they’re no longer babies. They’ve all grown by leaps and bounds. I’m making scrapbooks for them with pictures I’ve taken throughout the year. It is amazing how their looks, vocabulary, knowledge, and faith have grown in the last 9 months.
Just as the children have grown, I’ve seen areas where I’ve grown in my life. Some areas I wish that I hadn’t (physically), but in that area I’ve seen my lack of discipline and the need to be committed to a healthy diet and exercise this summer. The Lord has also stretched me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Some of the lessons in the process have been painful to learn, but what a comfort to know that my Heavenly Father wants to make me more like Him. Jeremiah 29:11 states,” For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare, and not for calamity, to give you a future and hope.” Thank you, Lord.

Father’s Eyes
I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl,And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,She's got her father's eyes,Her father's eyes;Eyes that find the good in things,When good is not around;Eyes that find the source of help,When help just can't be found;Eyes full of compassion,Seeing every pain;Knowing what you're going throughAnd feeling it the same.Just like my father's eyes,My father's eyes,My father's eyes,Just like my father's eyes.And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone.And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me,More than anything I know, I want your words to be,She had her father's eyes,Her father's eyes;Eyes that found the good in things,When good was not around;Eyes that found the source of help,When help would not be found;Eyes full of compassion,Seeing every pain;Knowing what you're going through,And feeling it the same.Just like my father's eyes,My father's eyes,My father's eyes,Just like my father's eyes.My father's eyes,My father's eyes,
