Happy Birthday, Jordan!

This here is my sister, Jordan.




Okay, here's a better picture of her ;)


Anyhow, today she turns 15! That means she's been my sister for 15 years! Wow...

So I'd just like to give a little shout out to a pretty super-dee-duper sister, on her birthday!

By the way, have I ever mentioned how much I really do like celebrating birthdays?! It's a day that we celebrate someone for just BEING. Not for doing, not for accomplishing, but BEING. Being the person that God Almighty made them! And God must have been showing off when he made Jordan ;)

So... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN! Thanks for just BEING my sister! Thanks for just BEING YOU!


Beyond that though, thanks for listening to me.


Even when I'm rambling, venting, talking nonsense, or even sleep talking. You still listen.


Thanks for cheering me up (most of the time with weird, random things that don't make sense) when I'm having a rough day.


Thanks for always being so selfless. I learn a lot from you just by watching you always sacrifice what you want to put others ahead of yourself.


So that being said, thanks for putting up with my SELFISHNESS! Thank you for your continual forgiveness.

Thanks for just LAUGHING with me!



Thanks for being awkward with me!


Thanks for all the nights you came and slept in my room just so I could talk to you until 3 or 4 in the morning about things that don't really matter the next morning.



Now I'd be lying if I played it off on here like we were perfect little sisters that never fought or argued. So let's be honest. We fight. We argue. Most of the time about ridiculous things like if you can wear my shirt or not. Anyhow, though I'm not boasting in our arguments, I do see good in them. I learn more about you in them. You know what makes me tick, I know what makes your blood boil. And after about 10 minutes, we're good again!


Thanks for pushing me and encouraging me in my walk with God.

Thanks for showing me what's right when I can't seem to find my way out of things.

Jordan, you mean the world to me. I'm so proud of you and can't wait to see what God does in you and through you this year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Love,
me.
