Some friends from church/seminary in Fort Worth skyped in for an extra special birthday wishes!!
Emma and Abby....
In the sanctuary watching the birthday video ... thanks, Sherry Payne, for once again using the talents the Father gave you to make this day a little more special!!
Showered with very special birthday cards and gifts....
It was such a great day celebrating with family/friends far and near....
In typical South Asian tradition, the birthday boy or girl gets whipped cream smeared in their face ... or at least an attempt!!
Above and beyond on the food and decorations!! Those that made the day happen ... the best food on the planet, amazing decorations, so much fun!!
GiGi did the decorations...
The ginormous birthday card that everyone got to sign.......

Favorite Quotes:
"The world is not our place of rest; it is a time of work and follow hard after Je$us. When we get home, we can rest. But for now, G*d is calling His children to share the gospel of the cross, the power of our Holy Father; it's time we obediently follow Him. May we all live our lives in a manner worthy of the calling we have received in Chr!st Je$us. May we live lives we will never regret." -- FACING TERROR, Carrie McDonnall
"Waiting on G*d requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within myself the unanswered question, lifting my heart to G*d about it whenever it intrudes upon my thoughts." --Elisabeth Elliot
"We are not the point. The point is G*d's glory and the needs of a lost world." -- company website
"Great advances in demonstrating the B!ble's relevance rarely come from the restless minds of marketers. They come from people who dare to obey what they read. ...On the cruel edges of the world, there is no need for elaborate explanations to bring a distant b!blical text closer to our lives. Rather, when we go to the cruel edges of the world, we bring our lives closer to the text." --Andy Crouch, Chr!stianity Today
"...because I know that my Father knows, and I am going to watch and see how He unravels this thing." -- Oswald Chambers, MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST
"TAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TAKE. TAKE YOUR PIANO, YOUR APPLIANCES, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO TAKE. BUT TAKE THEM IN YOUR HANDS. IF THEY EVER GET INTO YOUR HEART, YOU ARE THROUGH AS A M." -- Dr. Baker James Cauthen, exec. sec. of the company, 1962.
“Lay it all on the altar – your life, your family, your comforts – and count it joy that you have the privilege of serving Him, and you’ll have the song in your heart." -- Jerry Rankin, company President
To watch her suddenly get the fact that the B!ble is not just some archaic, out-of-touch religious guide for freaks but the living, powerful Word of Truth that will speak right into the home, workplace, and romance is what I live to see.--Beth Moore
