To my better half, my lover, my friend, my fiancé, my future baby daddy, and all the other things in between. Today is your day! The day that God saw fit for you to grace us with your presence. There are some people you meet and simply know that God was intentional when He allowed your paths to cross. You are one of those people for me.

I’m so grateful for the man you are, the way you love, the way you lead, and the way you continue to grow into everything God has called you to be. Loving you has been one of the sweetest reminders that God really does know what we need, even before we know how to ask for it.

My prayer for you in this next year is that God continues to order your steps, enlarge your territory, protect your heart, and give you wisdom for every door He opens. May this year bring you closer to Him, closer to your purpose, and into blessings greater than anything you could have planned for yourself. I also pray that this new year of life is a year of abundance and favor. You’ve sown so many seeds (encouragement, love, kindness, patience, faithfulness, and so many others). Now, it’s time to reap your harvest of purpose and passion.

You are truly one of one and no one can even compete where they could never compare. God has really been doing a thing in you and I’m sure that 32 is only the beginning. Today, we celebrate you! It has been an honor, blessing, AND pleasure to have seen you through so many birthdays. I’m grateful I get a front-row seat to the man you are becoming, and even more grateful that I get to love you along the way.

Happy Birthday, babe. 💙 Here’s to another year of purpose, favor, growth, laughter, and making memories together. I love you!
