Happy Birthday, Hannah!

Today is my sister's 15th birthday.

I wanted to take a moment to wish her a happy birthday and let her know how blessed I am to have her as a sister.

Hannah, I know that we have very different personalities and don't always see eye-to-eye on everything--especially as it relates to sharing a room ;)--but even though we occasionally have our "moments," please know that I will always love you and always be thankful that you are my sister.

I hope you have a truly awesome day. Enjoy being allowed to wear makeup now! :) Love you!

Happy Birthday, Sarah!

On this day, twenty-one years ago, my dear friend Sarah entered the world (yes, she and Hannah are twins) and it hasn't been the same since!

Sarah, I treasure our friendship. You have been a blessing to me since the moment we met and a true Godsend, especially in this season. I think I would have gone crazy by now if it wasn't for your prayers, listening ear, and words of truth and love. And, as I noted in Hannah's post, I truly am forever grateful to you two for introducing me to Harvest and helping me become part of the group.

Thanks for encouraging me to branch out and be a little crazy sometimes. There are definitely times in my life where I need friends to tell me to let go of whatever is going on in my life, let loose and have a little fun. And thanks for being there to have fun with! I love you dearly and I hope you have an incredibly blessed day that is far better than you could have imagined.

Happy Birthday, Hannah!

On this day, twenty-one years ago, my dear friend Hannah entered the world, changing it for the better.

Hannah, I am so glad God brought us together. I treasure our friendship. I'm forever grateful to you and Sarah for introducing me to the CCA and thereby introducing me to Harvest Church. You have been such a blessing to me. Your calm, mature manner mixed with your bold, strong stand for the Lord and your family have been a blessing in my life and an inspiration to me. Thank you for always being there when I need prayer, a listening ear, or words of truth and encouragement. I love you dearly and I look forward to our friendship growing even closer as the years go by! I hope you have an absolutely awesome birthday!

Happy Birthday, Katherine!

On this day, twenty-one years ago, my dear friend Katherine entered the world and blessed it with her presence.

Katherine, I consider myself privileged to call you one of my best friends. Your sweet, loving spirit and heart for God shine through in everything that you do and you are truly a blessing to everyone who knows you. I am so glad God allowed our paths to cross. I treasure our friendship and look forward to growing even closer in the years to come! I love you and I hope you have a truly blessed, God-kissed day.

Happy 21st Birthday!
