My baby is growing up!

My baby is growing up.

Today my daughter turns 15!. 

I can remember her being born, my mother in law there at our side. 

She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. 

Now she is 15.

For Latin Americans this is a rite of passage -bestowed on girls at their 15th birthday and marks their transition to adult life.  Here In the states it is the sweet 16. 

Are there any countries out there that wait until their girls are 21 maybe 30?

My baby is growing up.

My baby will be driving soon. WOW! It seems like yesterday I was just learning how to drive under the “L” in NY, almost giving my aunt a heart attack!

My baby loves to dance, loves children, loves to sing, and most importantly Loves God! 

God has blessed Alissa and me tremendously with our baby!

She is 15 and soon 21 and then 30 and eventually we will let her date!

Happy Birthday Mamita! I love you very Much!

You are 15 Today! You are not a baby anymore.

But you you will always be my baby!

Ecclesiastes 12:1 -3 “Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, ‘Life is not pleasant anymore.’ Remember him before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky. Remember him before your legs—the guards of your house—start to tremble; and before your shoulders—the strong men—stoop. Remember him before your teeth—your few remaining servants—stop grinding; and before your eyes—the women looking through the windows—see dimly.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”

1 Timothy 4:12 “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”
