Yes, its true, today this girl turns 5 years-old!! Where has time gone? How can it be? It seems like just yesterday she was a rolly-poly newborn and now she is all grown up! ;) Rebekah is in shock too. All week she has been going around saying, “I just can’t believe it, I’m shocked ’cause I’m really really going to be 5!!!” (: Life is all the more sweet with Rebekah around!
Plans for Bekah? Well, she has made her plans clear for the last 2 years or so. She plans on getting married at the ripe young age of 16{because she says that’s a good age to get married} having 20 “babies”{and yes, she already has all their names picked out}, and starting an orphanage! The more babies the better, right?! ;) With her take-charge attitude and simply perky outlook on life, I do believe one day she will make a great mother to many but for today she is extremely satisfied making it to McDonalds before they stop serving their breakfast menu. ;) Time will tell what the Lord has in store for my little blue-eyed friend but today I am counting my blessings as I get to be her big sister! :)
Happiest of Birthdays to you Bekah!! It is a great joy being your sister!
“The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26
{The last picture was requested by Bekah and the cat, though very annoyed, went along with it! ;) Ahem, and the song happens to be Bekah’s favorite. Enjoy, Bekah! ;)}
she looks so grown up in that first photo! happy birthday to her!
I know!! She is definitely quite the lady now. ;)
Her dreams sound like mine when I was young. :) Something like Jo’s Boys in Little Men – only about 21 of my own to go along with it. Yikes…you know, sometimes I think it’s okay that all our dreams don’t end up meshing with God’s. :D
Happy Birthday, Rebekah!
I could see you running a school like that in the book Jo’s Boys! :D I know, I was thinking as I wrote her post back when I was 5 and the dreams I had! :) Marry a missionary like Elisabeth Elliot, then adopt all the orphaned native children and all before I turned 18 years-old! ;) I am going to have to start reciting Proverbs 16:9 to Rebekah! ;) His ways are truly perfect.
