" As you enter upon a new year, let it be with an earnest resolve to have your course onward and upward. Let your life be more elevated than it has hither been. Make it your aim not to seek your own interest and pleasure, but to advance the cause of your Redeemer... Aim to honor God in everything, always and everywhere...Educate your mind to love the Bible...and, above all, the hour when the soul communes with God... A new year of your life now commences. A new page is turned in the book of the recording angel. What will be the record upon its pages?"
This was a challenging paragraph that I found in one of my birthday cards. I want the recording angel to be able to write victory down in my book. I'm so thankful for God who is always helping us to live more for His glory. That is the only light we will carry with us into heaven... His glory... His character. Let's pray for more of Jesus, earnestly seeking Him.
At least I didn't have to blowout 29 individual candles.

Lynette and I
It's so fun to bat the air. jj ....I had never had a pinata at my birthday before. Everything was so fun!
Elizabeth taking a swing at the cute little butterfly!
The lovely donkey with no tail. Poor thing... no one ever pinned it correctly either.
My job security was on the rise with the suckers from the pinata. Thank you to all my friends who made me feel so special on my birthday!

Awwww, happy (ahem, belated) birthday to you, Melanie! I wish I could have been there to celebrate with you. Have to be in touch sometime soon...
Happy Birthday. :)
Hey Melanie. I enjoyed seeing the wedding pics you posted a couple of weeks ago. It's neat we can all keep in touch with each other with our blogs. Happy Birthday! I turned 18 a week ago.May God Bless you in another year with Him!
Well Happy Birthday! You know, as we grow more and more into Christ's character, our record will be one that we won't be ashamed of if angels gaze upon it.
Happy, happy birthday to you!!! Happy, happy birthday to you!!!
Happy, happy birthdaayy to you!!!
I am sorry I wasn't there. I didn't know where it was going to be. Tunisia had told me that they were going to throw you a surprise one, (but had forgot to mention where) and told me that I couldn't say anything. So, I was very good and didn't say anything to you! =] Even though I really wanted to! I even stopped by your house on your b-day, but thought I might give it away if I chatted with you.
Anyways, I am glad you had so much fun!!!
P.S. Thanks for coming to my house! It meant so much to me! =]
BTW: I am finally leaving a comment! Aren't you proud of me?
Happy Birthday, Melanie! I didn't know you have the same birthday as my brother. :)
Happy belated!!! I'm going to have to put this date in my calendar so I don't miss it next year. Looks like it was fun. May Jesus walk with you every day!
Boo hoo... wish I could have been there! May your next year of life be so full of blessings you won't know what to do with them all! Miss you!
That sure was a jolly 'ol time!! I'm so glad that you were surprised...Whether you like to admit it or not!! We will have to do more smacking a pinata! That relieved quite a bit of stress...love ya sista.
Thanks so everyone who sent me B-day greetings. I've been 29 here for a week and I'll have to say that it's not bad at all. In fact it feels very similar to 28 or 27 or well.... maybe even 18. Who knows?! I'm just thrilled to be alive and experiencing some of God's marvelous graces!
