WOW is all I have to say!!!! Well, not really:) I do have more to say!!!
Have I mentioned how blessed I am to be the mother to four absolutely wonderful and fantastic daughters?!! Well...I am and the Lord never ceases to amaze me...
A few weeks ago, we decided to go to Sea World on a Sunday after our family worship time.
Our first stop was at Shamu Stadium and the show called "Believe." In the midst of parking strollers, getting snacks, and making sure everyone was holding hands, a gentleman came up to us and began asking questions about Hannah. After a few questions about her age, where we are from, and what she wants to be when she "grows up", I began to get a bit nervous. About that time the gentleman introduced himself as the talent manager of the "Believe" show. He went on to kindly ask if our Hannah would like to be in the show.
The rest is history....
It was a true God-moment. This show is about believing in the power of dreams and where they come from. The premise of the show is about a boy who dreams of making a difference in this world. He dreams of growing up to care for "The creatures of the earth" because it is our obligation. (Like in Genesis) The trainer that comes out and does the show with Shamu is supposed to be the boy all grown up. They then introduced Hannah and she is apart of the show. They talk about her dreams with her and she is apart of the storyline and gets to help with Shamu by feeding her etc. etc.
The focus of the show was on how we were created with a unique purpose and that we matter in this world. It was amazing the Biblical parallels that this show has. They even say "All things are possible to those who Believe." When her picture was shown on the gi-normous screen, I said to Ken that the stadium was just lit up with the very light and glory of God in her through Jesus Christ. A thousand people were blessed in the show that day and I am honored God chose her for that moment for that purpose to show His beauty in such an awesome young lady.
It was so special. My little Hannah, now 11, was the little girl that would not even stand up in front of her little preschool class and sing the "Tom Turkey" song, which made me cry because of how shy she was. She would not even walk up to get her Kindergarten diploma when she was 5, and here she was in front of a thousand people talking about her dreams. She even mentioned that she believes in the power of God. We all were so blessed to watch her. Even Elizabeth and Sarah Jane were amazed and proud of her...God IS so good!!!!
Be Blessed,

What a wonderful story of how God works and grows each of us, in the exact areas that we need to grow. You need to keep this blog for Hannah to show her so she can remember this as she grows older, as God might even chose to use her in a mighty way even more publically in the future, and what a story that would be of how far God has brought her, from where she originally started out. That's God's ultimate purpose in each of our lives...taking each of us out of our own little "comfort zones" in order to mold us and grow us into the person that He has ultimately called us to be. It is truly amazing to see God's work in the lives of our children, and also how God can use us, as their "earthly" parents, to also give us the opportunity to allow us to help in the molding His children, into who He wants them to become. You are a wonderful Mom who is being used by God to raise future warriors for the kingdom of Heaven...and may you always remember that first and foremost. May God continue to bless your journey with each one of them! We love you guys and are so blessed to be a part of all of your lives!
