Sweet 16 Sweet Adrianna

Happy 16th birthday my sweet Adrianna!!!

I can remember the day you were born.

Your mom laughed the whole time she was in labor.

She worked so hard to bring you into this world and

sweet girl, you were worth it to her and to us.

I remember crying the first time I held you.

I could not contain my tears, you were so

perfect and wanted.

I had prayed so many nights that God

would bless my brother and sweet sister-in-law

with a child, and now you were finally

in our lives forever.

This is one of the first times I remember God

answering a prayer.

I was 12 at the time you were born and

I wanted nothing more than to help with you.

Little did I think about you growing up, but I

am reminded of it now every time I

see your maturing face.

You have an amazing spirit about you...

Your determination is like no other.

You are timid and meek at first then once you warm up

you are spunky and full of life!

You have a dear heart for God and

sharing His love.

You have blessed me on so many occasions with

a verse from the Bible at what was always the right time.

You helped me through the most difficult time in my life.

You have an incredible destiny.

I want to encourage you to reach for the stars

 and set your goals high in life.

For I know that what ever you set your mind to..

with God's strength.. you will accomplish it!

Have the audacity to ask God, like Joshua did, for the

sun to stand still, and live in your faith that He 

gave you this life to impact the Kingdom

for Him!

I am proud of you sweet girl and

it would take me hours to list all your wonderful

attributes so I will sum it up by saying this...

I love being your Aunt and part of your life.

I am on the outside looking in and I see and

amazing women of God that

if finding her place in life.

I am filled with excitement knowing that you will

make wise decisions and maybe a few

not so wise, but I have confidence that you will

discern when you do and learn from your failures.

Know I am always here for you and

praying for God's voice

to be present with you

always. 

All my love,

Aunt G-G
