Defined By The Lord, Not By The World

Dear Rooney,

The world will tell you who to be, what gives you value, and what to strive for. The world will try to feed you with constant reminders that you’re not perfect, but I will continually remind you that the world’s definition of perfection is wrong.

Those who matter will value your free spirit, your silly personality, and your beautiful heart.

My goal as a mother is to build in you a confidence and a strength to always know your worth as defined by the Lord, not by the world.
