Baptism Gifts for Teen Girls

Happy Monday! How was your weekend?

 

 Yesterday Damon and I drove up to Fresno, California because my little cousin Lavenia got baptized. I am so proud of the young lady she is becoming. She turned 14 years old this year and oh-em-gee she is going into high school next week. Stop Growing!  I wanted to give her a couple little gifts that will help her walk with the Lord. I thought I would share what I got her.

Welcome Home, Hero

One of my favorite blood cousins is Stevie. (Shh.... don't tell anyone)  Stevie has been in the army for the past 12 years as a helicopter mechanic. He has been on 6 deployments. In my high school years I became really close with Stevie. I could tell him anything. Last Friday he was finally home. And when I mean he came home, his home for good.   Last Friday Stevie didn't know we were coming down for his welcome home party. Once my family and I walked through the door. His eyes got big like he was so happy to see us. He got up and gave me a hug. I held my tear back so much.   I have such respect for the wives/husbands of all military men/women. Saying goodbye or hello is probably the most emotional thing EVER!
