I know I don't look welcome in the bathroom with my camera, but they are fifth grade girls, and they love having their picture taken....even if the looks on their faces says otherwise. They all have their own cameras and they are all constantly snapping away at each other. I remember this time in my life....when I first started growing up and thinking I was pretty, and wanting my picture made....jumping in front of the camera and then rushing to the camera store to get them developed, yes developed. {HOW did I survive my teenage years without a digital camera? HOW?} Then I got terrible acne and my hair turned to frizz (and we DIDN'T have straighteners) and I pretty much spent the rest of my high school days running from cameras and hiding behind the pretty girls. I HATED having my picture taken. I use to rip up pictures of myself because all I saw was a pimpled monster. Moment of prayer: Please Lord let the gene dissapear from my family. Please, PLEASE do not let my children or neices and nephews go thru the torment of acne in such important years for self esteem development. Amen. I think I just went off. Biter? Nope, not at all. Thankful, actually. I was forced to work on my personality instead admiring myself in front of the mirror. God knew what he was doing. I might have been an ego maniac if I was pretty in high school. My life could have taken a very different direction. But since kaitlin is already a beautiful person on the inside, my prayer for her is that she gets to enjoy her teen years as a beautiful, confident, morally driven young lady.
They had fun last night at their little gathering. We are taking all of them to a new church today. I am really excited to check it out and I hope we all love it and make it our new church home.
