This Monday was my ninth birthday-
The anniversary of my birth in Christ, the start of my walk with Him.
My calendar that day said:
"Life is God's precious gift to you -
may you spend it bringing glory to Him."
He gave me life that August Wednesday night.
Heart Spring awakening as the August summer stubbornly resisted the coming Autumn,
The little brick building where I grew from girl to woman,
Surrounded by the nighttime woods that bind my beauty yearning heart to His.
And my thankful soul, His daughter,
Being immersed by my earthly Father,
United in death and resurrection to my spiritual One.
And they both rejoiced.
"All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men...as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God."
Thankful for these nine years serving Him.
Prayerful for the next nine.
Peaceful in His promise
And love.
