Girls will be girls. Eagurlz will be Eagurlz!
I can never end thanking God for giving me [you] girls: faithful, available, with initiative, teachable, humble and powerful girls... To borrow a line from a friend, yes, [gratitude is lame].

Through you, I have never been the same...
I have become
appreciative;
malambing;
prayerful;
thoughtful;
observant;
diligent;
thrifty;
generous;
strong;
faithful;
careful;
wise;
humble;
understanding;
patient;
sharp;
responsible;

and so the rest of the things I need to grow.
(uy, the list is not absolute... I still have to grow more!)

What would Rej be [now] without you girls and your girls?

Seeing you soar despite the odds encourages me and confirms my calling to pastor young women... The Hannah-Tears of heartfelt prayers now become Silent Tears of rejoicing. I would not care to have a spiritual enlargement of the heart, as I dare to capture God's dreams through you...

You did not complain last week.
You cry when I open up a burden.
You carry your loads.
You passionately take up your crosses.
You consider all tests as the purest form of joy.
You grow with me as I grow with you.
You rise more than you fall.
You speak without pretensions.
You serve with all your heart.
You do hard things with delight.
You labor and give birth with pleasure.
And oh, you love me like I'm really a good mother.



Your girls bring [true joy]. My, am I a happy mother?!
