My precious girl, as you step into this beautiful new chapter, I pray that God goes before you and walks beside you every step of the way. 🤍

May you walk through those school gates with confidence, kindness and courage. May your heart always remain gentle, your mind be open to learning, and your light never be dimmed.

I pray that you will be a point of reference for other children not because you are perfect, but because you are kind, compassionate, respectful and full of love. May your character speak even when you say nothing. May other children feel safe around you, find encouragement in you and be inspired by the person you are becoming.

May God protect you from anything that is not meant for you, surround you with genuine friends and give you the wisdom to know right from wrong. May He give you confidence to speak up, humility to listen and courage to always be yourself.

And Lord, I pray for every teacher who will have the privilege of teaching my daughter. 🙏🏽 Give them patience, wisdom, understanding and compassion. Strengthen them on the days that are difficult and remind them of the incredible impact they have on the lives of these little ones. May they see my daughter for who she truly is, nurture her gifts, encourage her curiosity and always lead with kindness.

May this school be a place where she learns, grows, flourishes and creates beautiful memories. May she never be afraid to ask questions, make mistakes or try again.

Above all, may she always know that she is deeply loved, wonderfully made and covered by God’s grace.

Go forth, my baby girl. 🤍
May you be a light.
May you be a blessing.
May you be a friend.
May you be a leader.
May you be a point of reference.

And may God’s hand remain upon you, today and always. 🙏🏽✨

Amen. 🤍
