"Dear Beth,
21 years down... many more to go hopefully. I'm not one to make a big deal of milestones, and I reckon you're similar to me, but think of it this way - you've got 21 years of experience at this thing called life. You may not realise it but you've got a lot of accumulated wisdom.
I encourage you to share it with others.
I like you because you're a thinker. You think for yourself. Sadly, there aren't many like you these days, especially inside the church!
So I encourage you to share, speak, blog, write a book.. Do all the those things. And may you inspire others to think for themselves, and most importantly, to discover God for themselves
Happy Birthday
From Grant"
I found this card today, it made tears come to my eyes, I'm not going to lie.
It reminded me of my goal, my future, what this blog was always meant to be about in the first place.
How easy we get lost. How easy we forget the calling of our hearts.
This was never a popularity contest.
So thankyou to one of my oldest friends Grant.
Thankyou for seeing something in me and for bothering to write it all down in a card.
Thankyou for being a true friend. Even if you're not an "everyday" friend.
I will return now to write of things that stir my soul, even if it doesn't involve fashion pictures.
smile often
Beth
