Baby Leslie is all grown up! It's hard to believe that my baby is in high school! Like her older sisters, Leslie is beautiful and witty. When she was a toddler, she looked identical to pictures of Hope at the same age. But as she has matured, she has developed her own beauty and style.(Here with PBR champion Mike Lee) As a very small child, Leslie was a great mimic and actress. That ability is a clue to another unique thing about Leslie: she is very observant. This ability to learn through observation has been a plus in the development of her passion and talent: barrel racing. From the first time she went to a "horse camp" she was able to quickly grasp the fundamentals of grooming, handling, saddling and riding. Over the last few years she's had her own trainer who's helping her to become a champion! The picture is of Leslie on her faithful champion quarterhorse, "Hugs and Kisses", a.k.a. Sweetie. In addition to being skilled in barrels, she has also won ribbons in poles and a silver buckle in goat-tying! Who would have thought it?
As proud as I am of Leslie's horsemanship, I am most proud of her deep commitment to Jesus. She is deeply spiritual and already exhibits a special anointing for ministry.
Corky and I are so blessed to have three beautiful daughters, each with their own gifts and talents. Being a mother of daughters may be a challenge (and it is!) but it is a joy!
