Incredible Determination

Tessa sure makes this mama proud! The determination she shows to hold her bottle on her own is amazing to me...a task, as parents, we overlook as a typical and simple accomplishment. We are so proud of her. We are encouraged by the changes in her and her incredible growth and maturity.

Life is hard! For Tessa, holding her bottle is hard! But she dedicates every ounce of effort she has to achieve this challenge before her. I truly believe Tessa is an example of exactly what the Lord calls us to do. His son gave His life for us and He loves us despite who we are...and I believe, in return, He wants us to dedicate every ounce of effort we have to build a relationship with Him through prayer and His Word and to love others in such a way that His presence in unmistakable in our lives.

Thank you Tessa, for your determination and endless effort when things are hard. You are teaching me every day!
