Happy Birthday Karah Lee!

Happy Birthday Karah! Thanks for being the sweet and caring little sister you are! I hope you have lots of fun today! I love you!!!

Jeremiah 29:11-13- “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart.”

Happy Birthday Amber!

Dear Amberdee,

Words cannot express how grateful I am for you! We’ve gone through many things in this past year that we’ve had to lean whole heartedly on God and each other for support and encouragement. There have been times of laughter, times of pain and tears, we’ve made many memories that we’ll never forget, and have drawn much closer to each other as sisters.

Proverbs 31:30- “Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” You truly are a God fearing woman. In this past year, I’ve watched you walk through many circumstances that I’ve never seen any one else walk through the way you have. Your constant fight for joy and desire to draw closer to God and be in His Word has spurred me on to do the same! The inward beauty you display of a gentle and quiet spirit has always been provoking to me!

Victoria, Karah, and I could not ask for a better “big sister” than you! Thanks for being a fun (and a little crazy at times :-p) person to hang out with! My prayer is that as we’re both growing older and have no idea what our future holds, that we can continue to grow in our relationship with each other, not just as sisters, but as best friends!

Happy Birthday!

Love,
Candace

Happy Birthday Victoria Joy!

Dear Toydy Be Doydy, :-p

When I think of you, I think of someone that’s fun, smart, witty, and energetic! Thanks so much for your joyful fun loving attitude you have daily and most of all for always making me laugh!
You‘re becoming one beautiful and godly young lady! I can’t wait to see all that God has in store for you in this coming year. Remember to ALWAYS listen to dad and mom… they know you best and they’re never wrong!

Happy Birthday little sis! Hope you’re having fun in Orlando and congratulations for going on your first upside down roller coaster!

I love you!

Love,
Your big sis

P.S. Your cake will be ready when you get home!

Happy Birthday Colleen!

Dear Colleen,

Ever since I was just a little girl living in Atlanta I've always noticed you as someone who trusts in our Savior and has a passion to serve Him. Yes, when I was six years old I saw you as a godly woman of biblical femininity and now thirteen years later, I see an even greater passion!

Thank you for your example of trusting God through very difficult times and for being faithful to follow Him and His will for your life. When I look into your life, I see humility and joy. Thank you for being one who quickly confesses sin to others in your desire to seek accountability and grow in godliness. The joy I see in you is not only an outward joy displayed on your beautiful smile, but an inner joy. A joy that is found in the Lord and a passion to serve and glorify His name. What an example those godly traits have been to me!

Colleen, YOU my friend have been and continue to be such a gift and encouragement to me, especially in this past year. Thank you for constantly asking how you can be praying for me! You have no idea how much you praying and asking how I’m doing has affected my life.

I pray in this coming year you experience joy inexpressible and God’s grace in a new and exciting way! I thank God for YOU! You are a treasured friend!

Happy Birthday!!!

Love,
Candace

My Birthday!

This past weekend was my Birthday and it was great! On Saturday some friends came over and we hung out at the pool. We then went to see Kung Fu Panda and went to the Jacksonville Landing to have dinner. On Sunday I had a Birthday party at our community pool and then we all went back to my house for dinner, fellowship, and cake. It was fun! Thank you everyone for all the gifts, cards, texts, facebook messages, etc. You all made my Birthday VERY special! I'm grateful for you all! Here are some pictures!
