Oh the love...

This post is very random, but I am really excited to write it. I know most, if not all, the people who read this is just my family, but I really want to do this as a gift to some special people in my life :) I have been blessed with such an amazing family, words can not describe the love I have for each person God has blessed me with as a my sister, brother-in-law, dad, mom, step-mom, step-dad, step-siblings (the list goes on and on...) Yet, it is the little ones I want to focus on now. There are six of them, each uniquely special, Kendyll, Carlie, Braden, Abby Katers, Caleb, and sweet baby Avery. These kiddos bring such joy to my life, I honestly can't even describe! I can talk about them for hours, play with them forever, and they are never far from my mind nor my heart! I love all them for just who they are... I would love to give them each a post just to remind them how special God made them to be. So I will go in order of age, because it is easiest! :)

Kendyll Grace,

Oh my Kendyll, I am not even sure where to start. I have such a special place in my heart for you. I am so touched by your personality and your generosity! Ever since you were born I have been completely obsessed with you! :) I can remember all the way back to when I found out you were coming, when I found out you were a girl, and the pure excitement when you were born. Sweet Kendyll Grace Jacobs! One of the most precious memories I have is when we first met, I held you so tight because I was so scared that I would drop you. I wanted to be with you every second! I have been so blessed to watch you grow Kendyll. Not only how you have physically gotten taller, or how your hair has grown longer, but spiritually as well. I have never, in my life, met a six (almost seven) year old anything like you! You have one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen!! I can literally watch God through you. What a blessing it has been for me and everyone else around you. I see God working in you to build a strong, sensitive, woman of God. I look up to you in so many ways, Kendyll. Just this Christmas you gave me THE best present I have ever gotten, it was two dollars, two simple one dollar bills, but they came from YOUR piggy bank. I still have those two dollars and I never want to spend them, I honestly want to frame them to remember that moment forever! You were so excited for me to come look at the present you had wrapped for me. It was a simple red jewelry box with a tag on it.

Your excitement was contagious! We ate dinner, talked a lot, (as our family does), and FINALLY it was present time. Your present was the first one handed to me (by you) and the first one I opened. You stood right next to me with wide eyes and a huge smile as I opened the box! I saw one dollar, and thanked you right away, then under a layer of cloth, was another dollar. Before anything could register I heard that it was your own money you had earned and it was your own idea to give it to me. My heart melted and I instantly wanted to cry from the feelings of love I have for you and have received from you. You, Kendyll Grace, were sent her on earth for me. I have no doubt that you have carried me through some very rough times in my life, you have brought me so many laughs and smiles that I will never be able to fully thank you for. You are precious. I love you more then words can explain, and I thank God for you everyday! You are a jewel in my life and I can't not wait to learn more about you and watch you grow more! God designed you perfectly, He molded your every feature and placed every cute freckle in perfect formation. He specially designed your heart for you, and made it extra big to fit in all your love for others! :) I have seen God's love for us through your eyes, His work through your precious hands, and felt His embrace through you glorious hugs! I know He looks down on you Kendyll and is very well pleased! I love you sweet Kendyll Grace more then you can ever know!
