Exactly one week ago today, we moved into our new home in yet another state. My husband and I don’t have jobs that allow us to take much time off of work … and we have two kids … and we work from home … and those kids are out of school for the summer. Yep. We have not unpacked yet. Not even close.

But the room I am most excited about decorating is my daughter’s. I plan to surprise her by hanging the canvas pictured above in her new room.

Yes, it’s a pretty picture, but I am hanging it because I want her to learn the truth that is plastered on that bright canvas.

I want the last words she sees at night and the first that she sees in the morning to affirm that she is God’s girl. That she is wonderfully made.

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made

Psalm 139: 13-14.

And that truth? It applies to grown up girls too, you know.
