*~*To Be A Queen*~*

With tender loving arms released a princess to this earth,

His fairest gem, a noble child sent down to find her worth.

"My child," were his final words, "This you must remember,

It was my hands that created you - The King of all Forever.

You, my child are filled with promise - the promise to become,

A Goddess, a queen of royal birth to reign in eternities to come.

For you are molded to be like me - a God throughout eternity,

A maiden fair, a child bright, a Queen forever is your destiny.

So now, my dear sweet princess, you must prove your royal birth,

By wearing robes of righteousness as you live upon the earth.

For others will be watching - are you a princess or a queen?

Do your actions prove your royalty - will they know by what they see?

To be a queen you must prepare, your actions must be as mine,

Humble, sweet, submissive, true with heart and mind.

Then when your days on earth are through, I'll greet you at the gate,

I'll place the crown upon your head, sealing your eternal fate.

I'll lead you to that place in heaven where you can dwell with me,

Not just a princess, not just my child, but queen for all eternity.

I was rummaging through my old college trunk and I found a Journal I made in Young Women's that I have never written in. One of the first pages has this poem on it. It has a neat message and I thought I would share. Being a new parent it's things like this that I read or hear and it makes me pray that I am prepared to teach my little ones what it means to be a child of a Heavenly King. Christmas time and the holidays are such a good reminders for us that we are part of a royal family in heaven!

Things are going well with the Thomas 3! Brynlee is getting so big! We haven't officially weighed her yet but according to the Wii Fit she weighs more than 14 pounds! She still grunts and loves to talk gibberish now! She will sit and squeal and grunt and sigh to herself all the time! She found her hands and loves sucking on them so much that she can't get enough of her fist inside her mouth before she starts gagging herself! She is our little strawberry pumpkin! (red hair? who would have thought?) Sleeping an average of 10 hours a night and loving her bottle with little to no spitting up, she is an awesome baby and love her to pieces! Christmas is going to be so fun even though she has no idea what's going on!

Tyler has his AS now and has decided that he knows everything because he has a degree! :) haha! He jokes about it but has yet to still make up his mind about what he really wants to do when he grows up!

I am starting Massage School on January 4th! After deciding almost 2 years ago that that was what I wanted to be when I grew up, it's nice to know I'm getting started! It will be rough but so nice to get it done!

She loves to snuggle up to the blankets with her face.
