So today our son Julner turned 8. We thought we would throw a party for him and video us singing Happy Birthday. I just emailed it to the orphanage and hope he gets to see it. We did a Mickey Mouse theme hoping that it is universal enough that he will understand it. I can hardly wait to make my first custom cake for him which I hope will be next year. This date August 16 holds dual meaning for me. 10 years ago today I said goodbye to my mother until eternity. Only my great, merciful, wonderful Lord could take this date and turn it into a joyful one. No longer will I be sad on this day due to the life of this little boy Julner. God has turned my sadness into gladness and reminded me that He brings life out of death every single time. He is worthy of all my praise!!
