Katie...

I don't know how this happened....but yesterday we were standing around a hospital bed meeting baby Katie and today is June 1, 2016 and apparently, you are graduating from high school tonight. 

I am telling you as sure as I am typing this....that it feels like yesterday.


I wish I had the right words to adequately describe how much I have loved and been blessed by watching you grow up Katie. 
To sit in the front row of your life for these past 18 years and cheer....has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.

You have brought me joy on my saddest days and quadrupled my joy on my happiest days. 

It's not just me, Katie- you've brought this joy to all of us.
You are wise beyond your years, and always have been. 
And your wisdom is not just reflected in your school ranking- (although, seriously!)

"Here's what you do- live well, Live wisely, live humbly. 
It's the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts." -James 3:3 

Jesus Himself says, 
"I have come that you have life in abundance!" -John 10:10

So.....therefore go and have a blast!! Look for God's abundance!! And do not settle for less. 

God is waiting for you in every tomorrow Katie...and He is waiting with good plans....filled with Hope and abundance of joy.

You are ready Boombah-Katie Patie-Katesville-Phyllis Irene- Phil-Ray-Pooty-Mees Jewniverse-BFF
I have every confidence that you are ready to go.
I can not wait to sit on the front row of the rest of your days and continue to cheer for you. 
I love you!!!

God, thank You for this child and the wonderful and perfect way you made her.

In His Dust,
