But today, it's all about her, and I look back and think how fast these 12 years have gone by. Ever since she was a baby, she was always just a tiny little thing! But, let me tell you, big things come in small packages!
She's so independent and definitely has a mind of her own. One of the qualities I admire about her is that she will not compromise her beliefs in the Lord, and she is a leader, not a follower. She knows what she wants and she's not afraid to try anything! She's strong, yet sensitive. Beautiful, yet modest. But she is also honest, smart, funny, loud, brave, and loyal.
I just pray that the Lord will use her in a mighty way, and that I continually look to Him for guidance in raising not only her, but my other children as well.
We love you, Miranda! I'm so blessed to call you my daughter.

So sweet! Happy Birthday Miranda! :-)
I had to chuckle about your kiddos being 10 1/2 mos apart. When my son was born, I was living in fear of being pregnant again because I was soooo not ready to give my body over to someone else! LOL! I missed feeling 'light' again! Ha!
That's so sweet! She truly beautiful!
Wow! Only 10 1/2 months apart?! I bet that was hard when they were little. Miranda is so beautiful! I hope she had an awesome birthday!

Happy Birthday, Miranda! 12 is a special age. Keep your eyes on Jesus and He will lead you to where you want to go. Don´t go and hope that He will follow. When I was 12 I dedicated my life to serve Jesus. He wants to use each of us. We just have to be like clay in His hands. Let him mold you and make you into who He wants you to be.
A song of dedication for you this your 12 Birthday
"You are the Potter. I am the clay. Mold me and make me. This is what I Pray."
Love Mrs. Daniela all the way from Spain!
Happy belated birthday, Miranda!
Alicia, my oldest daughter shares your oldest daughter's birthday! Kelcie will be 13!
