There is a bunch of scaffolding on a building down the street from us, and every time I have run or biked by it this past week, I have thought of you. 

I am thinking about this milestone of a birthday for you coming up and about your teenage years ahead, and I am praying for there to be just the right scaffolding for you along the way as you continue to grow. That might show up in your parents or grandparents or godparents (who love you so so so much I might add!) or in your teachers or in your friends.  But however God shows up to help with the "building, repairing or cleaning" in your life, my hope is that you will be open to these supports and that you would allow God to work in you to make you into the person he designed you to be.
