One of my favorite Christmas cartoons is Frosty the Snowman. Every time he comes to life he says Happy Birthday. It reminds me each time I hear it about how joyful it is to be re-born.
I was re-born 9 years ago today. I was totally broken. I had hit my bottom. I got on my knees beside my bed and cried uncontrollably. I spoke out loud and confessed my sins and said that I could not live this life or go on without help. I finally asked the Lord to forgive me. It still amazes how instantly I felt better. I had a calmness that I had never felt before.
It has not been an easy 9 years. Not at all. But, my faith has kept me out and through difficult situations. I have made my share (and more) of mistakes and have stumbled in my walk. Yet, there have been times in the last 9 years where I have felt such an overwhelming presence, so close to me, that my heart and soul could only be described as overflowing. I know more and am more a child of God than I was in the beginning. I’m not quite the baby in Christ I was, but I am not fully the woman that I think I should be. I know God is working on me and the journey at the very least will be interesting.

So I am proud to say that I am 9 years old today and I have received the best present that anyone could ever want or need. So pass the cake.
