A Mother's Insightful Musings to Andra

 

Isn't she gorgeous?

This is my daughter, Andra.  Isn't she gorgeous?  Yes, alright - everyone under the age of 30 - alright, 40 - is gorgeous.  But, Andra has the kind of beauty that surpasses anything that can be photographed.  I am lucky to be her mother.

Andra right now is traveling.  She is using her talents as a singer to give glory to God as she sings in churches and performs in schools.  Little does she know (or does she?) that despite her adolescent protests to the contrary - "I don't want to be a singer!" - I had continually prayed that God would use her vocal talents in His service.  He does always answer prayer, doesn't He? 

Too, everything has now been worth it - the waiting in the car while she finished up her vocal lessons, the budgeting of monthly tuition payments, enduring her protests, the week-in/ week-out scheduling arrangements, the fuel costs, giving up those other things that had to be sacrificed - yes, there comes A DAY when it all comes together into a wonderful, beautiful God-inspired package.  It's the little, everyday, consistent stuff that BECOMES what we BECOME.  Does that make sense?
