I woke up this morning with a heart to praise God, and the words that immediately filled my mind were "fearfully and wonderfully made" from Psalm 139:14. I never like to put words in God's mouth by flippantly saying "God said..." or "God told me...", but I must say that I truly felt He gave me those words as a birthday gift...a loving reminder that I am His unique and wonderful creation. And, I have to add...I felt beautiful all day long!
My second great birthday gift was a new Canon Rebel XTi from my precious husband! I am soooo excited to get going with it, but I must admit the camera is a little overwhelming! Perhaps it is because I, for once, want to take my time getting to know the features and adjusting the settings rather than just plowing forth all willy nilly.
Scott & I went out for a hot date on Friday night to celebrate our birthdays! It was so much fun hanging out with him...and being able to focus just on him! Today Scott's family came over for a little fiesta, and my family called from IL to love up on me. Indeed it was a good, good day!

The best birthday gift were those words from Psalm 139. :) I have had those times too, where I felt like God put a particular Scripture in my mind that was meant for me that day. God is so good!
I have your prize finally wrapped up and ready to ship (you know, the photo caption prize from like 19 months ago???) I guess it can be a combo prize & birthday gift. :)
