New Beginings

New Beginings is a program to introduce girls who are turning 12 during the year to the Young Womens program at church. We had ours several weeks ago and it turned out so so great. Romy was in charge and did a beautiful job. We talked about the personal progress program. We set up all kinds of lights and did tables for each values. We introduced out new value which is virtue. Then we had a parent introduce each of our new girls and to describe what kind of light that best represents them. One of them was Hannah and I asked her dad to do that since I had to speak. He chose Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). These are the things he said about Hannah

-Only seen at night- Hannah being shy and you only see her true personality every once in a while
-Multi-colored/ they come in all different colors- personality/always wears colorful clothes and is really into fashion/likes be creative
-Unsure of why the lights appear- unpredictable/we never know what kind of mood she is going to be in and it could change in an instant
-Lights are magical- her spirit is magical/she seems to amaze us with something different everyday
-Aurora measns Greek Godess- she has some Christ like attributes
-The Scottish used to believe that the more active the lights were the more severe the weather was going to be and (because of our Scottish Heritage)-When she was little we called her "Hurricane Hannah" she could get into things very fast and make a mess very fast

I was very happy/sad to see this all take place because it means my little girl is growing up. She is ready to grow up so I guess I will let her and just hang on to the memories.
