"Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."
God loves you Mommy/Lola and He has been and always will be right by your side. Rely on him and He will carry you through the hard times and rejoice with you through the good times in life.
Marla created this blog in July 2010 so that different ones in the family could express words of encouragement to you. We decided to continue in this "tradition" therefore, since July 2010, every year, for your birthday, we would post our thoughts, our hearts, our words to you.
We continue this tradition this year but with a "twist". Instead of words from us, we would like to share words from Him...our King of Kings and Lord of Lords...Our God. For your 2013 birthday, we would like to share with you verses from the Bible that have personally blessed us, ministered to us, corrected us... It is our prayer that His Word would touch your heart, refresh your soul and give you passion for life.
WE LOVE YOU MOMMY/LOLA...HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

From JONINA:
Isaiah 40:27-31 (NLT)
"O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your
troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights?
Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is
the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths
of his understanding.
He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in
exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They
will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not
faint."

for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

Proverbs 31:26-31
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.

and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her
household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call
her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many woman do noble things,
but you surpass them all.' Charm is deceptive , and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has
earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
