My Alices

I think that one of the greatest blessings in my life came in the form of two beautiful women named Alice. Two very different women, but women created in God's image, with a passion to raise families that serve Him. I feel so blessed that these women came into my life at a time when I was really searching for who I was going to be. While my own mother was a perfect example of who I wanted to be, it wasn't really "cool" to want to be your mom when you are 13. So I looked up to these women for guidance, encouragement, and friendship. Many, many hours have been spent in discussion or contemplation with these ladies. (Twenty years worth!) I seek their wisdom because I see that they are a living example of what God wants me to be! I look at their children in awe, wondering how they have managed to raise them with such an understanding of their faith. I pray that when I grow up I can be like the Alices. And I pray that when my girls grow up, they will glow with a knowing of who they are and who the Lord wants them to be, just like the Alices' girls do!
