FLOWERS FOR MAMA
By Christy Pearce

SHE SAW JESUS IN ME

Well , she must have seen something in me .
I mean , something other than all the nasty rotten things that make up “ me .”
I don ’ t pretend that I am holier than she is . In fact , my 11 year old daughter Emily knows I am anything but holy . So , she had to see something much better than me to want to “ be like me .”
You see , this week my soon to be 6th grade girl approached me and said “ I want a blog .”
Emily has lots of interests . She loves Cute Girls Hair Styles , and is always trying something new with her hair .
She loves to bake . She watches “ Cake Boss ” on Netflix and wants to work for Carlo ’ s Bakery one day .

Emily crochets , knits , loves science projects and crafts . So naturally , when I asked her what she wanted to blog about I expected her to pull something out of the “ favorite hobby ” hat .
