To My Little Girl,

I want you to know I've been praying for you even now that you will grow to be a mature young woman-- one who makes wise decisions, who chooses to follow Christ and honor Him in all she does. I'm praying you will accept Him at a young age and then become a passionate believer who is not afraid to share her faith. I'm praying that you will exude beauty both inside and out. I pray that you will trust your father and me enough to come to us with your worries and your concerns, that you will be able to see as someone in whom you can confide.

I pray that you choose your friends wisely, that they help build you up, not bring you down. I'm praying for purity in your relationships, especially those with the opposite sex. I'm praying for your future husband and that he will save himself just for you until you marry. I'm praying even now that you will come to see what it means to be a Proverbs 31 woman and that your future husband will be a man who respects that and can lead you spiritually.

I know there will be times when we will disagree. There will be times when you wish that you could be someone else, live somewhere else. But your father and I promise now to be the best parents we can be. We promise to cherish you and show you all the love we have to offer. We can't wait to meet you.
