lilly the fashionista

My eldest daughter (Lilly) had the opportunity to be part of the Secret Keeper Girl tour fashion show last night. Dannah and the SKG crew are locals, and I’ve been part of their ministry in the past. We love those folks, and are so encouraged by what they are doing. Kim was planning to take Lilly and Sadie to the event anyway, but Lil getting to be part of the fashion show was pretty cool.  In case you missed it, the Centre Daily Times ran a good story about the event last week.

Kim was thrilled with the whole event. There’s a lot of talk about modesty, making good-Godly choices in the area of sex/sexuality, and a challenge to follow after Jesus.  Kim says that lots of young girls made decisions to follow Christ last night, praying with their mothers!  How cool is that?  Kim loved being able to creat an opportunity to discuss matters of purity and modesty with Lilly (Sadie didn’t get most of it, but she just turned 8), and to talk about what it means to be a godly young woman.

Parenting isn’t for the faint of heart.  It’s a long haul, a tough road, and filled with unexpected dangers, twists, and turns.  We are blessed to have a wonderful family, and I thank God every day for my wife.  I pray that we are leaving a legacy of godliness for our kids to follow…
