Today is my husband, Hal’s 27th birthday!  I won’t get all cheesy and stuff on this blog…I’ll save that for the card…but I wanted to leave behind a few thoughts on my husband’s birthday.

I want to thank his parents, Chuck and Glenda.  They have raised up Hal to be a man that pursues the Lord and loves the Lord with all his heart.  They instilled these beliefs deep into his mind and heart from the time he was a young child.  And although I am sure Hal gave them many gray hairs along the way, I know that they are proud of him.   Because of their dedication to raising Hal to be a godly man, I am now blessed with a godly husband.  There is nothing I can say that will truly communicate my gratitude to them.  So thanks, Chuck and Glenda!  The both of you are amazing, and I am so thankful to be a part of your family.

And to Hal, I’ll save the yucky love stuff for later, but know that I love you with all that I am.  I praise God for you and thank him daily for you.  It is my hope, as you enter your LATE 20’s, that you will contine to pursue the Lord with holy, unapologetic passion!  It is my prayer that you would continue to approach the throne of grace with reverent fear and awe.  It is my joy to be united with you on this journey of life.  Happy 27th Birthday, baby!  I love you!
