Alexa Wins Her First Talent Show

So you entered and won your first talent show!  For about the past week, your mom and I have been happily enjoying your success, in partial disbelief that you actually made and won the show!  

Your are talented, but as your classmates are chanting your name when you get back to class, as your friends are asking you for your autograph after your performance, and as everyone is congratulating you on how you did - don't forget two things:

1 - Don't forget how much work you have put into having your succes
2 - Stay humble and thank God for without Him nothing is possible, yet everything is possible through Him.

When you kids get up and do anything - especially get up in front of your entire student body - your parents get nervous.  I love this pic of you.  Nervous but brave; courageous and ready to take on the world!

When you got going, you bounced that ball off of your feet, it rolled into the crowd, and a kindergartener was able to throw it back to you.  From there you took off.  It was perfect, and we have seen you do better - but it was GREAT.

You have had so much success so early in life, I pray that when you do come across adversity, you are able to handle it gracefully and with grit.  If this is any indication - you will be more than okay.

Continue to be brave, continue to take on new challenges and new adventures.  Continue to love life and be a light in this world.  Continue to shine your light bright!!!

Daddy loves you and Daddy is proud of you.
