Rite of Passage


Yesterday Becca got her ears pierced. Somehow that seems like a rite of passage. The beginning of body adornment, the road leading to jewelry and make-up. My little girl, my first born is well on her way to being a young woman. If I stop and think of the road that lies ahead, it can be overwhelming and scary. Things like dating and puberty. Boys and make-up. But then I pause and look at my girlie, and see her sweet spirit, her love and concern for others, and her integrity, then I think this will be okay. I know the road is still long, but I am encouraged by the young woman she is becoming.

She looks so worried!
On the second ear looking a little less worried.
My beautiful girlie.
