Here’s to the girl who is loud for she will loudly proclaim the goodness of God.

Here’s to the girl who is quiet for she will silently ponder His mysteries.

Here’s to the girl who is silly for she will find joy in the little things.

Here’s to the girl who is curious for she will uncover the secrecies of His world.

Here’s to the girl who is brave for she will find her strength.

Here’s to the girl who is cautious for she will grow in her confidence.

Here’s to the girl who is pure of heart for she will see God in all things.

Here’s to the girl who is brazen for she will live a bold and unabashed life for Her king.

Here’s to the girl who is sweet for she will gratify kindness.

Here’s to the girl who is vivacious for she will fill each room with His spirit.

Here’s to the girl who is easy-going for she will show others how to dwell in harmony.

Here’s to the girl who is scrappy for she will be grit in motion.

Here’s to the girl who is scrupulous for she will be diligent and hardworking.

Here’s to the girl who is messy for she will shed herself of perfection and live in the flawlessness of His grace. 

Here’s to the girl who is complex for she will unearth the humanness we all share.

Here’s to the girl who knows who she is and to whom she belongs for she will shamelessly live the life she was destined to live.
