Emily, I feel so blessed and honored to have gotten to know you in the last year. I remember when Kyle told me way back in the spring of last year that you also loved MOPS and I was so excited to have met you and taken you to MOPS. I knew that very morning that I wanted to get to know you better. Emily, the love of Jesus pours out of you. Sometimes when you are with someone, you just simply feel better after being with them. That's how I feel about you. :) The pure joy you exude is amazing - you are a breath of fresh air. I know our talks that we have had this summer have been such a blessing. Oh, to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in a short meeting and cut to the chase and just be real and authentic in front of one another is such a gift. Thank you so much for that. Thanks for all the devotions and songs that we have been able to share with eachother. You are a great encouragement of the Faith.....a Godly woman, wife, and mom - and what a great, beautiful momma you are. :)
I pray that you feel incredibly blessed this 30th birthday. I hope you know how special you are to so many. I have tears in my eyes thinking of the smile on your face as you read all these entries from all those who know and love you. You are such a definition of the Proverbs 31 woman. Here are some verses that remind me of you and ones that you might find joy in: :) Philippians 1:3"I thank my God every time I remember you." Zephaniah 3:17"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing." Hebrews 12:2a"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith." Also, the song One Pure and Holy Passion.....good song!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I17edLkBDCo Blessings to you sweet one, and Happy Happy 30th Birthday!!! Dawn Van Den Bosch

Honey, I can write you a nice little note telling you how much I appreciate you and love you...and I'm sure you'll be touched by it. But I've done that before and it just feels insignificant. Plus, I know in the back of your mind you will always have that typical spouse-like feeling of "well, you have to say that, it's my birthday and you are married to me!" So, instead of JUST writing you a letter telling you how I feel about you, I thought I would back it up! These people in this blog are not married to you, and THEY DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT! They love you (not half as much as I do though). Bookmark this blog and read through these truths about you and the impact you've had on people and simply be refreshed. I love you
