Another Year
November 30, 2008
Another year in my life has passed. O how quickly time flies! It seems only a few weeks ago that I was little and thought of myself as one the of the “big” girls.
I am thankful to have God’s Word in my own language, and to have the freedom to share the gospel openly. I am thankful for the way the Lord has protected my family and I from pain and great sorrows. I am thankful for His saving grace, and for all that He provides for my family and I.
This past year I have grown closer to the Lord and seen Him shaping me. I fall short in so many areas, but He is patient and carries me through.
I look forward to the future God has in store for me. My great hope is to glorify God in all that I do. I look forward to becoming (if the Lord wills) a godly wife and mother (of many little ones!).
It is a comfort to know that the Lord’s will will be accomplished. I do not have to worry about tomorrow, He will provide.
“The mind of man plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.” – Proverbs 16:9
He will guide my paths, and direct my steps. God is powerful and great. Praise be to His name!
While living the life my Lord has blessed me with, I am at home with my family enjoying being a daughter, homemaker and artist. My highest goal is to give glory to God and enjoy Him forever. It is He that has saved me with His amazing grace and is continually molding me; to Him I owe everything. Read more . . .

~Oh my dear cousin, I wish you a Happy Birthday with all of my humorous soul. I am normally with you on your birthday…and looking quite weird in the background of All the photos…:)
I am blessed to have such a godly cousin, who is not afraid of her faith, a good sister and daughter, a young lady of confidence, and my best friend.
You have been given the gift of numbers, photography, affability, craftiness, and a lovable personality.
Have a Blessed Birthday!

Your Cousin

YAY! I get to be #15. : P
Sorry…. I wasn’t on the pc all da. I guess I could have called, right?
You are such a lovely young lady, and I hope you and I remain friends forever so I can see what kind of woman of God you grow up (further hehe) to be. Know always, Emily, that you can come to me about/for anything and that I will be there if you ever need me or someone to talk to.
Happy 16th Birthday dear!
