I have one daughter and I love her to pieces. She is such a joy and so full of life! I struggle though... I find it to be challenging at times because she is so very different than I am.

My little Julia Grace is only four, but I have such a difficult time relating to her little quirks. She is very loud and obnoxious, she always wants to be the center of attention and she is so very stubborn! She has more energy than most of my boys and she does have a temper - There is no messing with Julia!! I pray every day for the patience  (and the strength) to embrace her little personality.

My prayer for my Julz is that she will grow to have a loving and gentle spirit. I want to guide her in the ways of a godly woman, but I don't want to break her little spirit and make her someone she is not.

I know you are probably saying, "She is only four, she will grow out of this stage." I am not so sure I want her to. I believe God made her to be His strong and vibrant daughter and I know that she will do great things for Him if she can conquer her temper and focus her energy (the whole lot that she has) for good.

Now, I just wish I had the energy to keep up with her!!!
