Happy Birthday to Renay!!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday to my precious friend Renay! She's 30 something and pregnant
with her 4th little blessing of joy, which I am convinced is a girl!!
I need to take this moment and totally gloat on my friend because she is working her little
hiney off, balancing a family, household duties, church, demanding friends such as myself who begin to stalk her when they don't get a returned phone call- she is amazing! Go Renay, Go!!!!
I am truly proud of her as I can't imagine what it must be like to work night shift and be pregnant!!!!
You all know the story of how we met, but I'll tell it again. Renay first came into my life at a gym- hmmmmm...wonder what God is trying to say there? teeheee! I thought she looked like my long lost cousin named Becky, but I quickly found out that she was not. She was like the exercise queen of the universe and barely answered my question as she huffed and puffed on the eliptical (i think). Then, about a year later- there she was again as my nurse with delivering Evan. She came on shift about 30 min. before Evan made his grand appearance by jumping out into the other nurse's hands...the Dr. came in quickly after! I still remember her gentle, kind caring attitude as she helped me get from the delivery bed to a wheel chair. She even wheeled me by the nursery to see Evan :) Then, she dissappeared again for another year and then voila...there she was again! Man, God is cool! So, I ended up doing a Pampered Chef show with her as the consultant and I became the bestest recruit she had ever had!! teeeheeeee! We soared in Pampered Chef together for 3 years. Imagine 3 years of your life spent talking to someone at LEAST once a day...more like 4 times/day min!!! And now...... no more Pampered Chef, no more Kara having babies, no more exercise (sad), but the binding glue is GOD! Our friendship is precious to me. I love the fact that I can call her and be completely nuts, crazy, happy, sad, up, or down and she listens, she cares and she loves me. God has an awesome purpose for our friendship and I'm still in awe how he brought her in and out of my life over a period of about 3 years before we ever really connected...now that's a total God thing!!!!!

Today, Renay, I wish you the happiest of birthdays. But above happiness, I wish you peace. May you rest and be peaceful in the fact the God is on the throne and is doing great and wonderful things through your willingness to serve Him! Stay strong my friend.
I love you!
