Happy 11th Birthday

...to our July 5th Firecracker!!

Reagan, it's hard to know where the years have gone. Seems like yesterday you were having to be lulled to sleep by the VACUUM CLEANER! (vacuum off = screaming / vacuum on = quiet) Needless to say, back in those days, my carpet was spotless! You were a very strong-willed (wild-haired) little baby/toddler with a princess-filled imagination. You have grown into a beautiful young lady with a caring, sensitive heart. Daddy and I pray that you continue to follow Jesus and grow more in love with Him everyday. HE has big plans for your life! It won't always be easy, fair, or the most fun......but TRUST HIM. His ways are always BEST...and HE will pour blessing upon blessing onto your life.

PROVERBS 3

^1-2 Good friend, don't forget all I've taught you; take to heart my commands.
They'll help you live a long, long time,
a long life lived full and well.

^3-4 Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty.
Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.
Earn a reputation for living well
in God's eyes and the eyes of the people.

^5-12 Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he's the one who will keep you on track.
Don't assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
your wine vats will brim over.
But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline;
don't sulk under his loving correction.
It's the child he loves that God corrects;
a father's delight is behind all this.
