Prayer<\/p><\/div>\n

December 1, it\u2019s my birthday. It\u2019s funny how your birth date seems like a day you own from the time you are a child until you are grown. It is your day, your date, and your special time to celebrate your life. I was asked recently \u201cWhat did you picture your future would look like in the year 2010 when you were a child?\u201d<\/p>\n

My response was \u201cI wanted to be a mom from the time I was 4 years old and a writer from age 8. Now I am married to my soul mate with 4 beautiful children and I am a writer. I am exactly where I wanted to be!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0But I must tell you all that if it were not for the grace of God I would have nothing, my words would fall flat, my husband would not exist and my children would still be only a dream to me. God has given me every blessing I have ever received in my life time. If I did not follow where He leads I do not believe I would be a writer at all. He inspires my thoughts and words. God inspires my love and relationships. If I did not have God I would not have my life.<\/p>\n

So today although I want it to be about me and my birthday truly it should be a celebration of my life and all the blessings God has so graciously bestowed upon my life, another Thanksgiving Day!<\/p>\n
