I know she's not my baby anymore. And hasn't been for awhile now, but seriously time is just flying. I swear it flies by faster and faster each day. Each year zooms by...and here we are at another milestone!
Kyiah is THREE!!!!
I am not sure how 3 years have passed already because I still remember the day Kyiah was born. I could tell you EVERY detail of her birth, like it was yesterday.
Granted, her birth was FAST and furious...but I don't really think she has slowed down since that afternoon she made her grand appearance.
We chose Kyiah's name because it means "vibrant life," which she has certainly lived up to so far. Her middle name is Hesed, which is Hebrew for "God's never-ending, unfailing love for us." Every time I say her name, I am reminded how much God loves me. No matter what I do, or don't do, He loves me. He loves me more than I could ever imagine. His love is deeper, wider, higher, stronger, more extravagant, and more outlandish than we could ever believe!
Sometimes we refer to Kyiah as our little firecracker. She is full of laughter and joy. I love her giggles, and her smile is so contagious. She can be super sweet, but let me tell ya, she can be stubborn and strong-willed too. I think it's the red hair, which she gets from me... So probably means she gets the attitude from me too. Actually, I KNOW she does. I see her and I see myself when I was that age, or what I know from stories my parents have told me.
I pray her determination will be a GOOD thing for her as she grows up. I don't want her to be a push over. I don't want her to just follow the crowd and do what everyone else is doing. I want her to stand her ground, be firm, and do what's right NO MATTER WHAT.
I also pray for her future husband. Oh man does that thought scare me in so many ways. BUT it excites me too. I know that God has HUGE plans for this girl and is going to do some BIG things in and through Kyiah. I am honored and humbled to be part of His plan. I am excited to see what He's got in store and will be watching with anticipation as His story unfolds.
We're just 3 years in...
I can hardly wait to see what's next!
Except I don't want to rush things.
The days are already flying by sooooo very fast.
Means I have to capitalize on each day, making the most of the time I have with my Kyiah (and her sisters). I want to make as many memories as possible, treasuring them in my heart for days and years to come!
