One of the greatest joys in my life is being the mother of my two wonderful daughters. It's so amazing to witness how God fearfully and wonderfully made them. From the moment they were placed in my arms, I knew what God's intent was for them......GREATNESS. Now, I am not talking about the world's definition of greatness...money, fame, power. I am talking about making real impacts on the people they come into contact with, through kindness, leading and walking by faith and basically just knowing that they do have a purpose here.
My 18 year old is in her freshman year of college, and has the everyday struggles of a average ordinary college kid. It has been tough sitting back and letting her work out some of the tough things she's had to get through.....adjusting to her new found freedom, and all of the time constraints with trying to work and keep up with her studies so that she is able to help with her college budget. But, I have to tell you, she is one of the most graceful people I know. No matter how hard it gets for her, she always has a smile on her face and a great attitude. To me that is just the beginning of her GREATNESS factor. I miss having her around everyday, but not nearly as much as her little sister.
And there is Hannah. What a great kid! She has the uncanny gift of never having met a stranger. She is like her dad, she has an old soul....you know the kind of person I'm talking about..........the first time you talk to them, you feel as if you have always known them. I could go on and on, being the doting mother that I am :-) I guess what I am trying to express is how blessed I feel by having the privilege of helping raise such 2 amazing girls. Thank you God!

I love your girls, oh so much. They are so joyful and have such sweet spirits about them. You are truly blessed. They are so blessed to have you as a mother. If I wasn't a part of my wonderful family, I would absolutely want to be a "Gray." I guess I kind of am though. :)
