But, and there is always a but... I worry about her. I don't worry about her getting big, learning to walk, falling, scrapes or bruises - those can all be fixed with Mommy love and bandaids!
I worry about her getting hurt emotionally. Little girls can be mean and cruel... and I worry about the mean things that could be said or done to crush her spirit.
I was picked on quite A LOT all through middle school and high school. Luckily, I have always been a bit oblivious to the world around me, well maybe completely oblivious. I tend to block out all the negative and see positive even in the midst of controversy. I call it an extraordinary gift that God has provided me with.
God has always been first in my life and I thank him for giving me my positive outlook and oblivious nature. I've always been able to shake off the mean words and go on as if nothing occurred (might be why I like Taylor Swifts new song so much)! I also had amazing friends that were outside of my school that were there for me - they didn't hear all the fun people made of me and helped me through those tough times. I also had a strong youth group and friends there that I leaned on.
I know to just give my worries to God and ask him to give Kenzie my oblivious nature when it comes to mean girls. Handing my worries to Him is always a weight off my shoulders... I know he will help her through her tough times just like He did for me. Doesn't mean I still don't worry about the little bug! I just know that God puts us through situations to make us stronger in life, in faith and in spirit.
I look at this sweet little face and think who could ever be mean to this beautiful, happy baby - but I know one day it will be on our door step and I will be armed with bible versus to help her through the tough moments.
Signing off,
Worried a little but giving it to God
