More Blessings.

I’m about to book a flight to Austin for August and I’m so excited! My sweet cousin Mindy, has asked me to be her daughter’s Godmother! My sister and I will share the duty together. I’m really blessed by this and looking forward to our trip this summer to be with friends and family and celebrate sweet Emerson!

Emerson Patricia Hopkins,

You don’t know me yet, but I’m your God Mother. What an amazing honor it was when your Mom and Dad called me to ask me and my sister, McKenna, to be your God Mothers. In all honesty, I’m not exactly sure what I’m supposed to do or what it means to be a God Mother in it’s entirety. But I can tell you that I will do my best and figure it out as God leads us both on a new journey! I’ve never been a God Mother before and I’ve never had one myself, but I will take my job seriously and commit to loving you well and upholding you spiritually as you grow up. Your mom taught me a lot about living out my faith when we both lived in Kingwood. I was blessed by God to have her as an older mentor for me in the early years of my faith in Christ. I hope I can be that same person for you as you, Emerson.

Know that I prayed for you while you were even in your Mommy’s tummy. I prayed for you to be strong and healthy and even for you to turn around so you could come out safely. God listened to our prayers and answered them! It’s the first of many He will answer for you. Today I pray that you can grow up to know Him and have a real and meaningful relationship with Jesus, his son. I pray that you would fall in love with Him as your savior and know the need for Him in your life.

I can’t wait to meet you in person and be there on the day of your baptism as an outward sign of your parent’s inner commitment to raise you in Christ! I love you very much!
