In a class ALL her own

Today my baby Confirmed. She was the only one in her class and as Pastor was starting the sermon he told her, "Alexis, I have been wanting to tell you this for 2 years now. You are in a class all your own!" His sermon was so heartfelt and he spoke directly to her. You are in a class all your own he reminded her. He talked about how she likes a challenge and he presented one to her of his own. Fight the good Fight! Be a good Christian! Fight the good Fight! Be a good person! Fight the good Fight!  Live the life that God wants you to live! Fight the good Fight!

I am so proud of my daughter. I shed a few tears when we got to the church, and a few more before service. I shed a few (more than a few) during the sermon. He spoke of how we have told her in our own way that we love her and that we are proud of her and that we are blessed to have her in our lives and all I could do was look at her and smile and think, "My baby, is becoming a young woman, and she IS in a class all her own!" I shed tears when we went to the alter and she was blessed. Later at my moms when we were all getting ready to eat and I asked to lead the prayer I had tears then. And now here I am typing this and for the first time all day I think the tears are ready to take over.

I am so proud of the person my daughter is becoming. She has her battles that she fights and I know she struggles. But I know there isn't anything she can't over come. She has an amazing support system of friends and family that make sure she loved and cherished every step of the way.

I love you Alexis. You are my best girl... You ARE in a Class all Your own!!
