Even though this photo is many years old, this is one of my favorite pictures of you.

It shows the fun and loving side to your serious, and no-nonsense personality. I can relate to the serious, no-nonsense side of you, and I envy the fun and loving side. Do you remember when this was taken? We will still new to you as “grandparents” and I’m sure getting in step with new extended family filled you with uncertainty. If it did, it didn’t show. You handled it with poise and grace.

While I’ve not had 2 plus decades of watching you grow up, I’m impressed by the hard-working Godly woman you’ve become and I’ve come to know. And now that you are in graduate school and I’m sure you are more than ready to move forward in your life and at the same time wondering what will unfold for you in the next few years.

These next years will bring so many unknowns and you will have many questions, my prayer for you is Proverbs 3:5-6 as you seek God for the answers you need.

Proverbs 3:5-6

 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; ⁶ in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Heavenly Father, please guide and direct Kynzi in the path you have set out for her. I am grateful that we can ask for the big and little things in life and Kynzi will be asking many big questions. May you fill her with your spirit, peace and wisdom as a guide to what you have planned for her. Help her to enjoy and embrace all the future holds. Amen.

Love you and so proud of you, Jackie
