Birthday day

Another Oct. 9. Another birthday. I still remember the first day we met you. It was the same day we realized that you and Eden share a birthday. It went down on the list of confirmations that you were meant to be part of our family. The list is long. God is good.

It's been a year of growth, of changes, of maturity. A year to become. A year of decisions. A year of growing up. Another year of deliverance and of redemption. A year of finding you.

Thank you for your perseverance, for never giving up. Thank you for loving your siblings and standing by your friends.

Happy birthday! Enjoy the day (and the day off from school)!

So go ahead and live like you're loved

It's ok to act like you've been set free

His love has made you more than enough

So go ahead and be who he made you to be
