Out of many adults and children, Gloria was the only one to step out and sing. The cowboy at this campfire/hayride/dinner experience asked if anyone knew any songs they wanted him to sing and after some silence Gloria got up right in front of him and said "The Butterfly Song". He said he didn't know that one so Gloria sang it for him while he strummed the guitar. She stood there singing with him (trying to follow along with his song) being bold and brave and sweet all at the same time.
I don't know where she got her boldness because it definitely didn't come from me! It must've come from Max's side of the family. Perhaps we should get her into some sort of performing arts. Max said she seems energized by performing and being in front of people rather than timid. Gloria and timid do not go together. We would like to develop this gift in some way and use it for God's glory...any ideas?
But we also pray that she have a quiet and gentle spirit, which doesn't necessarily mean not talking, but more of a graceful trusting in God, which makes her spirit quiet and gentle. We are also working on being "a lady" with her, teaching her lady-like manners because sometimes she can be over-dramatic and rambunctious.

Suggestions? Teach her lots of great songs to sing. Teach her poems to recite. Have her recite her Bible verses with hand motions, expression, etc.
Can't wait to see you guys!
