My Birthday

Well.... I must say turning 33 was not as painful as I thought it would be.... I have had a great day! I have had so many Birthday wishes that is has really warmed my heart. I was shocked by all my phone calls, special visit by my 22 yr. old brother , e-mails, and cards, and all my FB messages ( I had so many, I could not believe it)! I FEEL SOOOO LOVED!!!! THANKS EVERYONE!

Here is my little personal cake. When I ordered it I thought I had ordered a bigger one, but it was still good and cute!

It got a little smashed by my kids trying to get it out of the package.

The kids surprised me by having my cake ready and was singing Happy B/D as soon as I walked through the door from running. Please excuse this picture,I did not know Josiah was taking it.(my MP3 was still in and the kids were in their pjs, ready for bed.)

I spent most of my day playing beauty shop with Lilee while she fixed my hair , I painted toe nails and finger nails , other then doing laundry I pretty much chilled today. We did go eat at Tony Roma's for my dinner. So all in all.... I had a great day!!!!

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
