10 years ago today, the Lord blessed my life with the most lovely gift...Olia. At a time when I thought we wouldn't have any more children, God knew far better and had a much wiser plan. He accentuated His creativity by blessing us with a child of rare beauty.
She is kind and gentle, humble yet talented, always positive, and the sweetest person we all know.
Olia is a precious reminder to me that God is worthy of our trust. He gives bountifully and beautifully
when we submit to Him in all things. I praise Him for this beloved treasure He's given me in Olia.
(I remember walking around the property together when we took this photo...)
Olia, there has never been a day that you haven't been a pure blessing to share life with.
Truly, you're a very special person, a picture of femininity in it's sweetest form.
I love how you express yourself in dance, with effortless elegance and grace as such that only God can give. You harmonize intuitively, always enhancing our joyful noise to the Lord through song. You've always loved flowers and surely God knew when He inspired us to name you Olia Lily. You're learning so much about serving our family in the home lately and you're growing up before my eyes. You tenderly care for the baby and are a wonderful friend to your siblings. There is nothing we don't all adore about you, Olia. You just make life so much better when you're around. I'm beyond blessed to call you daughter, to call you friend.
Happy 10th Birthday to our lovely Olia!
"Let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty
of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious."
1 Peter 3:4
