My daughter got an interniship this past summer at a local weekly newspaper. Within the week she had her first feature article published on the front page! Then she went on to write a series, and now has a column. She's 17! After I got over the shock, I realized, isn't that what we worked, prayed, sacrificed, and longed for? That our children accomplish greater things than us. That they stand on our shoulders and see farther, deeper, even impact the world. I stand with you proud of my daughter, excited to see what God has in store for her. Barbara:

I think that is why it snuck up on me and surprised me as it did - as I recognized it as sin. I have SUCH a long way to go as God's daughter. >.. exactly, Meredith.

But I totally understand the whole jealousy thing when it comes to my writing. The weird thing is, it never bothered me too much until AFTER I was published. You would think it would have been the other way around. :) Hey Barbara, I haven’t had reason to be jealous of my daughter yet–though I’m sure that day is coming.
