Thank you so much, friends and family, and EVERYONE who made my birthday special by sending cards, newsy letters, money, voxer messages and emails. I am thankful for each one of you! My day was quiet... in the afternoon the ladies of the compound dropped in one by one and brought sweet cards, 8'oclock coffee, and one brought a cute red mug. I felt loved.
I am not sad that I am another year older, not really. I am so grateful for another year of LIFE, another year to be married to a wonderful man, to be mommy to 5 precious and beautiful children. Some women are not granted any or even all of these things. I am richly blessed.
This year has been so full of change. Some so hard, and yet, He has led us all the way, and we have peace that He will make our path straight in the future too.
Its been full of hard things, But these hard things are to draw us closer to HIM. And they have.
Its been full of loss. My niece who went to be with Jesus. My Grandpa's too.
There were losses in other ways too.. most that left us walking in faith. But HE HAS BEEN FAITHFUL.
We've moved from all we have known. We were gifted with a clear call, and He has been with us all the way.
So in this year ahead, we press on in the path He has chosen for us. Thank you so much for being part of our journey.
