Another Year’s Journey

Theme: Birthday Blessings

My birthday celebrates the day I was born.

Another year's journey celebrates the God who has kept me through every day and every year since.

If I were to count some of My Blessings…

1. The majority of my family believes in and has a relationship with God

2. I was born into a family filled with Love and Laughter

3. We Like and Love Each Other

4. Perfection is NOT expected, Love IS

5. Each ‘wake up’ is a Visible Blessing

6. Learned to Appreciate Lives Lived and In Progress

7. Blessed to have Heart-Connections in All Areas of My Life From Birth to Present Day—and God Willing, Far Beyond Today

I Am a daughter, sister, mother, Nana, friend, Heart-Connection, writer, encourager, facilitator, woman of faith—and still, underneath every title accumulated across 68 years...

David and Mary’s little girl. 💖

Michael and Harold’s little sister. 💖

P.J. and Teran’s mother. 💖

Caitlin, Kieran, Myles, Jack and Stuart’s Nana. 💖

God Mother to Many. 💖

68 years of Life.

68 years of Love.

68 years of God's Grace and Mercy. And, God willing, MANY MORE YEARS YOUNG to come.

Life’s Happenings Happened and Keep Happening…

Love. Family. Sons. Grandson. Friends who became family. Career. Ministry. Books. Heart-Connections. Adventures. HeartAche. Healing. Questions. Faith. Bratty-Moments. Laughter. Loss. Purpose. Service. Growth. More laughter. And enough Why-Moments and Wow-Moments that Confirm God’s Presence In My Life.  

Not without HeartAche.

Not without losses.

Not without seasons I didn't understand.

Not without some things I still don't understand.

Yet, through it all… Tremendous Love. Laughter. Joy. Grace. Mercy. HeartSmiles. And Blessings.

Another Year’s Journey 🙌🏾💖

I Am Still Here. I Am Still Smiling. I Am Still Becoming. I Am Still Blessed.

From my heart to yours, Dianne Lawson 💞
