Hijacked Blog Alert!

November 30, 2009

This is my little sister Emily while we were on vacation in Maine, way back in 1997.

Today is her birthday, and I, Breezy, have hijacked her blog. Mwuahahahahaaa!

Our dear Emily Rose is turning 17 today, and we plan on having a great deal of fun sitting behind our sewing machines and creating things. I think Coca-Cola and chocolate is on the menu as well as some other fantabulous foods!

Emily Love, I can’t tell you how dear you are to all of us! We hope you have a wonderful year ahead of you, and pray that the Lord continues to bless and keep you! I love being sisters with you!

Would you bless Emily with a birthday  greeting? I think she’d enjoy finding a full page of comments to read in between sewing breaks! Thanks!

P.S. If you would like to see more pictures of Emily growing up, click here.

    Happy Birthday! You share the day with my dd who turns 19 today. I believe her day also includes Coca-Cola, chocolate and sewing of the cross-stitching kind. :-) Have a lovely day!!

    Wow, Emily, you have a lot of people that love you! :)

    I hope you have a wonderful birthday, dear friend! You’ve blessed me in so many ways with your Christ-exalting speech, gentle ways, loving hugs, sweet e-mails, feminine example, godly hospitality, quiet disposition, joyful demeanor, and the list goes on. You are such a dear friend of mine, and I’m so thankful that the Lord brought you into my life.

    I pray that this 17th year would be one greatly used by God to work in and through you. Stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Keep your eyes always fixed on Him, and delight in His ways.

    Happy Birthday!!! :)

    Seventeen is a beautiful age. :)


  68. Mel on Dec 1, 2009 said:

    Hi Miss Emily Rose! How are you? Happy Late Birthday! I just bump into your website and gotta say, I love it! Congratulations for turning 17! Wow, I was 17 almost 2 years ago, LOL! I’m so impressed on how your life is sooo similar to mine. I also have a big sister, her name is Stephanie (I called Tepu!) Yeah, sounds kind of weird, but I like it. She’s 21 and I’m turning 19 in… 29 days! So yeah, it rocks being the birthday girl for a chance, so I bet you’re super stoked to be 17. That’s a pretty awesome age and is more awesome when you know you have a Friend that is there to celebrate with you and actually be with you for the rest of your life, yes, Our Friend, Jesus Christ. I think is amazing that you have a heart for God at such a young age. That’s just great! And the fact that you’re using all your talents and gifts to give Him praise, that’s pretty impacting and admirable too. I love the way you write! Writing is one of my biggest passions also, well, I used to write a lot, but for many reasons (that I don’t know which are they) I started leaving this gift aside, but now that I came across your blog, I just felt that it was time to start using this talent again and begin to write like I used to, even better, so thank you for inspiring me and bunch of other girls, you are really being used by God. Keep using all of your talents for Him. You rock! Bye and Happy Birthday! <3 :D
