A Birthday Wish

The month of December is a busy month for everyone with Christmas parties, shopping and family gatherings, cards to address and cookies to bake.  In our family,  it's compounded with birthdays, three of them to be exact.  Since the birthdays belong to the adults, we usually just let them roll past without too much hoopla. 

I haven't reached the age yet where I want people to forget my birthday.  Maybe I should, but part of me is still the giggly little girl who enjoys the anticipation of the BIG day. 

This year, I have a birthday wish! 

The last year has been rough in so many ways.  Time seems to slip away quickly and I find myself spending too much time worrying over things that I cannot control or doubting God's ultimate plan for my family. 

I want the next year to be different.  I want to focus my attention on the attributes of God and His promises to me.

How can you help?

I'm glad you asked! 

If you have a favorite verse of scripture, a promise from God or name of God that means something particularly special to you, will you write it out and send it me in the snail mail.   I want to cover our house in these daily reminders of how God is alive and working in the lives of His children.   If you want to include a story of how/why this is important to you, I'd love to hear those! 

When it's time to celebrate again next year, I want to be able to look back and see how much God has grown and changed me through your encouragement in His word.
