Princesses and party dresses

Theses past few weeks have seen a lot of beautiful little princesses, and a certain mister have thier birthdays. But one particular little girl made me feel super special.

Hannah B (as she is affectionately known) just turned eight and to mark this occasion she was having a high tea party, complete with little sandwiches, cupcakes, pink lemonade miniature tea cups and tiny little fairies scattered around the garden. And to this particular party she was only allowed to invite 6 friends and she chose to invite me miss Steph (or as Hannah insists on calling me Stephi).

I was so flattered that this little girl would chose to use up one of her invites to have me at her party that I just couldn't say no. I cleared my schedule and went all out. As the invitation stipulated I was to were my prettiest party dress, well you might care to know that I am as tomboy as you get and hate wearing dresses but how could I not. So I chose my prettiest dress out of the two or three I own and wore it along with high heels and stockings I looked quiet the part even if I do say so myself.

I had a lovely afternoon with Hannah and all her beautiful little friends, all dressed up in 'spinny' dresses, cute little food ladening the table with everything pink from sprinkles to lemonade to fairy floss.

Happy Birthday Hannah B I love you, and may God continue to bless your sox off. Xx

Amazing people

I am so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life.

I suppose these people 'stand out' (for want of a better word) in the tough times of our lives, but I feel they need acknowledgement, even in the easy times of our lives too.

This is just that...

Lauren Rowbottom...
An amazing friend and roll model. She's been there for my happy days and my many sad, to give me advice, prayer, hugs, tissues for my tears and to make me smile. God sent her onto my life to help me learn how to forgive the virtually unforgivable (well at least in my human opinion).

Felicity Rouse...
She is again another amazing woman pursuing God, she challenged me to live a life devoted to him. Encouraging me with the wonderful words of wisdom from books written by other people who love the Lord with their lives, and with music and heart felt lyrics from more passionate Christians. And I thank her greatly for this encouragement and all the heartfelt prayers she poured out for me.

Shelley Wright...
Yet another amazing woman, she is a bubbly life force that's affectionately known as Shelby. She is defiantly a woman whom I admire, look up to and love. She keeps me smiling and helps me to see things in perspective, she has this uncanny ability to know when I need cheering up or just a casual care-free day or a big hug. Again she is another woman who has prayed for me. I love her and can not imagine my life without her.

And another amazing woman who I'm sure will be surprised that she made this list, even thought she is every bit deserving...

Rachel Pelentsov...
Were do I start she is a new addition to my life but in the short time I've known her she has made such an impact in my life. She is an incredibly wise, and knows what advice I need to hear. She is not only the chick I hang out with just coz, but she's the one I turn to with the tough issues too. She is a woman who lives by actions not just words. I look to her and see someone who loves the Lord, and wants to live her life to please Him. She is one of my best friends and my life would feel empty without her there. She's a real encouragement and I just want her to begin to understand how much I appreciate her, and that's just the half of it.

I again just need to say what a blessing these women are to me. God has sent each of them into my life for a reason and I thank Him for that, and for each of them.

Thank you God,
And thank you ladies
