Another Day Another Blessing

It's been an interesting last few weeks by far. Amy is now crawling which is kind of crazy to think that she's old enough to be crawling. She's going to be 8 months on Sunday as I turn 20. Laurie will no longer be able to say she has a teenager in the house haha. Amy pulls herself up on things so it definitely won't be long until she is walking and I'm going to have to chase after her.
I was laying down the other night and a song that I remember hearing over and over as a little kid. As I was listening to it, it made me tear up because it reminded me so much of my grandfather when I was his little girl.  Well I'm still his little girl, but anyways it is just an overall great song.

Butterfly Kisses 

There's two things I know for sure

She was sent here from heaven

And she's daddy's little girl

As I drop to my knees by her bed at night

She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes

And I thank God for all of the joy in my life

Oh but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer

Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair

Walk beside the pony daddy it's my first ride

I know the cake looks funny daddy but I sure tried

Oh with all that I've done wrong

I must have done something right

To deserve a hug every mornin'

And butterfly kisses at night

Sweet 16 today

She's lookin' like her mama a little more every day

One part woman the other part girl

To perfume and make up from ribbons and curls

Trying her wings out in a great big world

But I remember

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer

Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair

You know how much I love you daddy

But if you don't mind

I'm only gonna kiss you on the check this time

Oh with all that I've done wrong

I must have done something right

To deserve her love every mornin'

And butterfly kisses at night

All the precious time

Like the wind the years go by

Precious butterfly

Spread your wings and fly

She'll change her name today

She'll make a promise and I'll give her aways

Standing in the bride room just staring at her

She asked me what I'm thinkin'

And I said I'm not sure

I just feel like I'm loosin' my baby girl

And she leaned over

Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there

Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair

Walk me down the isle daddy

It's just about time

Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?

Daddy's don't cry

Oh with all that I've done wrong

I must have done something right

To deserve her love every mornin'

And butterfly kisses

I couldn't ask God for more than this is what love is

I know I've got to let her go but I'll always remember

Every hug in the mornin' and butterfly kisses

As I listened to it last night and looked at the lyrics, I realized daddy could be replaced with mommy and it would make perfect sense.

I can't wait to see my family in two and a half weeks. I get to see family that I haven't seen in forever so I'm rather excited. My baptism is in well obviously that same amount of time and I'm looking forward to it so much. God's has blessed me so much over this time that I can't imagine sometimes as to why me. We have the tendency to ask that question, but we have no right to he doesn't answer to us, we answer to him. On that note I came to the realization not too long ago that what we do reflects not back on us, but back on God. So we truly need to watch what we do because it's not us we're reflecting it is God.
