I have had the honor of knowing you over 3 years which is not quite the amount of years that you have blessed the earth with your presence, but in those three years I have learned so much about you. You are full of love!

You are a terrific wife. A wife who supports, encourages, prayers for and who stands next to your husband.

You are an awesome momma. A mom who loves on, cuddles, plays withs and prayers for your two children.

You are a precious friend. For you have listened to me during all the good and the bad. I feel so blessed to know you and 'log' our hours together!

You are also an amazing daughter and daughter-in-law.

You have many more roles all of which I know you bring love, grace and peace to.

Today we get the honor of celebrating you.

Celebrating the day in which God said, "Okay today is the day I will introduce My beautiful daughter, her name is Tanisia and she has a very special purpose. A purpose only she can fill."

Happy Birthday my friend. No worries about revealing that this is the 40th year of your presence on earth, your secret is safe with me. Hey what are friends for?!

I love you Tanisia and I pray this over you today and for the year:

To Tanisia who has been called, you are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace and love by yours in abundance. (Jude 1-2)
