gift of life*

So here's a beautiful note i found in my inbox this morning..

On your birthday, it's no longer about me though, it's about you! And Sue, there's no doubt that all of us see many grand things for you but more importantly, I just want to affirm your faith as you take these steps outover and over again without asking for a reward from God – your faithfulnesswill have its way of showing in a way that only you will comprehend in thefuture. So what I pray for you is abundant faith continually put intopractice as you keep moving ahead because I know that you are meant toachieve great things.I also want to encourage you not to feel disheartened no matter what may come your way because there is a greater plan and purpose for your life. Sometimes its merely rhetoric but most of the time it is more than that – itis faith into action – proclaiming the words out to remind ourselves not to be caught up in our fleshly desires. Your selfless life is a testament to all that you walk a road of faith and you have been very good at notconfirming to the norm for the sake of the flesh. You have put yourself outthere and gone against the grain in so many ways simply because you believeso and are convicted and God sees that Sue. As for a boy, which we always talk about somehow, I pray that he bringswisdom and light into your already bright life – that he may partneralongside you and bring you fresh revelations and a new point of view thatyou have never seen. And may the two of you partner alongside God to dogreat things in this lifetime. I am convinced God has marked a life sospectacular for you that I am just waiting to see what more he can do foryou!I hope and pray that you will continue to be just who you are because youare a miracle not just in my life but so many others – my journey with God would not have been complete or as fulfilled as with you! =) I want to say so many things to you Sue, but words fail me (I KNOW RIGHT? UNBELIEVABLETHAT WORDS FAIL ME) but they do! They are all random thoughts in my head andwords can only convey so much! But I hope you feel that you are special andreally just an awesome person and if there is anything in Melbourne I cansay has been a true blessing that would be you and your family! Love you very much and I am holding so much hope together with you..
