MIZ-ZOU! and a Tiny Little Prayer or Two!

Two of Kenzie's Favorite People
Her Boyfriend and Little Sister!

WOW...My dear precious teenager Mackenzie didn't give me much time to Ponder my next surprise for you! She applied for the University of Missouri - Columbia on August 20th and was accepted for full admission on Friday August 27th! YIKES....

I am so so happy for this child of mine! I have full confidence in her that she will do amazing things. I have been praying for this girl for her whole life. I have saved prayer journals from when she was just a little baby, praying for a future Godly mate, asking God to keep her close to him, and so many other wonderful answered prayer requests that only God could do! In one way it seems like just yesterday I was taking her home all by myself and then BLINK...we are preparing for her future! Dear God....My time with her is almost over....Help me to pray for her daily and diligently as only you know what your will is for her! Lord help me to control my mother bear instinct when she is hurting and turn to you instead of things of the world! Protect her and bind her up in your loving spirit! As this year is so quickly going to pass I ask that you have each one of us take the time to savor each moment we get with her! I ask that you tie the bonds between her and her siblings so strong that they will always have each other and a solid foundation for which to come back home to! You are an amazing God! You sure showed her and I yesterday that if even for only one night....you can change the course of things planned....you can and will answer even the tiniest of prayer request! Not only did you leave me with my mouth wide open and dropped on the floor but for the small amount of people who were praying for her hurting heart....You showed them that yes..you will answer a Yes to MIZ-ZOU and a Tiny Little Prayer or Two! :)
