Need to knows 8-10

8) "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" - Mary Anne Radmacher
I saw this quote the other day and it made me stop and think about you. You're never going to be perfect, you will fall, you will get hurt, and you will hurt others. It's not the failure you should remember, it's the lesson you should remember. Get up, try again. Don't let fear rule your life, ever.

9) There's a beautiful song written by John Mark Mcmillan called "How He Loves". We sang it this morning at church and you were dancing along with it, I think you rather enjoyed it. Anyway, the song talks about how Gos is jealous for us, he values most of all our love and devotion. He is jealous for our hearts. Nothing more than Him should be first priority in our hearts. He loves us desperately and without end. Even now, before your birth, he loves you and is jealous for you. Before your very conception he thought of you and started to form in you for a heart devoted to him.

10) You're going to be an extraordinarily lucky girl. This house is full of animals and is a practical petting zoo. In this sense, you are going to be spoiled. It is my hope that you never take this for granted. That you always appreciate what you have and with all that you have, give so much more to those with less than you.
