Happy Birthday

Tomorrow you will be 9 years old!! Wow how time has flown. It's been a life with many ups and downs and it isn't always fair, but God has put you in my heart forever. I pray that as you get older that you don't lose your desire to give mom loves! I love your kisses and you always make my heart smile when you love. I get stressed at times but I am just exhausted is all. We will keep praying mama does things in the Lords strength and not my own. I am excited to see what life brings your way. Let's take every gift that God has placed in you and surrender it all to Him! He spoke to me while you were in my womb and I would be a fool to think that my mistakes could ever keep the Word of the Lord from coming to pass! I am believing that God is faithful to perform that which He has spoken over you! I love you Baby boy who isn't such a baby boy anymore!! I pray that this year you take a hold of a deep relationship with God for yourself and that you grow in your hunger to spend time with Him. Please remember as you get older that I havent always been a good mom in my own eyes (too stressed out for the most part) but I have definitely tried to do the best with what life brought us. I have tried to let go of bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness, and hatred towards others and to give to those in need. My hope is that I have not done in vain. I may have depended on my perceptions a little too much instead of the Holy Spirit of God. I am learning now though! Heres to many more years of growing together! I love you baby!
