my blog tonight, Friday night, March 8, 2013… 

… actually fulfills the purpose of a blog, by being by definition a "Web-log," later shortened to a "Blog" is more of a personal diary on line to be shared with others of similar interest. Tonights topic couldn't be more personal, so i apologize if you expected these to be more impersonal. But, if you know me at all, you know that i celebrate the loves and lives of those in my life. Tonight is Misty's night! Misty is my little girl, who married a cool guy named David Rosenberg. I can't imagine my life without her! 

I wrote the following as a note to Misty this morning, and over the last few years, i have dedicated this day to praying for her, as I did this morning at Panera Bread, while reading the BIble. Misty is a delight who has pushed me to grow in Christ, in Trust, and in Honesty. I have spent sleepless nights wondering and praying and waiting for Misty. I wouldn't change a thing. Today, Misty, mom and i love you and see in you grace and a wonderful spirit of kindness that you model from our Father. 

This is what i want to say to you Misty, "My beautiful sweet misty, I've known you longer than anyone, but mom, and have prayed for you every day of that time... You were an answer to prayer and I love what GOD is doing in your life. What a precious and special gift you are. Happy birthday! You were the best birthday present I ever got! Love to you and David today."

                            (When you see Misty, ask her to do the "Goat Dance", it is worth it!)

In keeping with the "Real…" themes we are developing for the month of March, Misty is one of the most "Real" people i know. Because of the Resurrection of Jesus, i have been able to hold her in the delivery room, to "give her back to Jesus" after a prayer that started all of these moments, where i have tried to keep up with Misty, Jodi, Matt and Marge. Today, i celebrate the life that we live, the hope we have in the future, and the ways that my life is richer because of you. GOD, Bless and protect my family, in Christ, marv
