How did this happen?😱

You blink and then suddenly, the funny little baby turns into a beautiful 14 year old lady!! 😍 Yes, today we celebrate Emmi’s Birthday and my heart is spilling over with so much happiness. 🥳 This girl has blessed me and so many others over and over and over again! Emmi is known for her steady, upbeat personality, maturity, and gracious spirit! She is a faithful friend through and through, always seeking to share encouragement she finds in God’s Word.🙏🏼♥️ One of the many things I love about Emmi is she’s fully compassionate but also real and honest. She isn’t about fluff… She’ll tell you how it is and not beat around the bush! She also gives a pretty stellar back massage. 😆 Emmi is seeking the Lord diligently and daily and striving to serve others! Her example is humbling to witness and one I seek to follow daily. ♥️ This gal is beautiful inside and out!! And TODAY IS HER BIRTHDAY!!! In Honor of 14 years old, I am sharing 14 fun photos from her year😁 and asking y’all to leave her a spectacular Birthday Comment! 🎈👇🏼 I can promise you she reads them all.🙌🏻 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Emmi! SO very thankful to the Lord for you.☺️🥳

“May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,
And fulfill all your purpose.
We will rejoice in your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.”
Psalm 20:4-5

“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;  that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;  giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.  He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”
Colossians 1:9-14
