A Birthday Celebration!

Today we are celebrating Miss Monica June's birthday! She turns 13 today and we'd like for everyone to please wish her a wonderful birthday!
Miss Moni, we pray for bountiful blessings on your special day! May your day be full of love, encouragement, and peace.

Please enjoy these shimmering daisies today. May God continue to use you to bring happiness to the lives of those around you.



As I was trying to find just the right bouquet of balloons, I found this one and knew you would enjoy it so much more! As you soar to new heights each and every day, may the view become more grand as you see the positive in every situation.

This little gift bag has something in common with you! It's a very unique gift and it's one that you must share with another person, it's the gift of salvation. God has blessed you with a heritage of hearing the gospel, and we know that you strive to share His light in this dark world. We pray you will continue to share His word with others. God has given you so many gifts and we know you will allow Him to use you and your gifts to bless those around you.

Last of all, we wanted to have some cake with you. Becoming a young lady of 13 brings many new challenges as you face the world as an official teenager. Teens today have a sad reputation and we challenge you to bring a new definition to the term 'teenager'. May your life reflect a new kind of teenager. When people hear that term 'teen' they will think the best because of the testimony you bring to your community and to this world.

Many happy blessings to you Miss Monica June!

From all of us here at Growing in Grace!

Contributor- Meet Miss Kaitlyn

My name is Kaitlyn. My full name is Kaitlyn Elizabeth Brown, but I like to go by Kaitee Beth sometimes. I am a 16 year old homeschooled girl who is striving to learn more about God and act more like Him. I live with my Dad, Mom and my four younger siblings. I share a room with my sister, Hannah (the youngest of the family). My three brothers are Jordan, Ian, and Noah. I love my family, and I hope that I will be a blessing to each member.

I love to draw, sketch, paint, and do basically anything that involves making some kind of image on some kind of object. I am best at people and faces. I love to take pictures. I especially love to capture the expressions of people’s faces. You give me a quick shooting camera, I’ll be happy for hours at a time. Everywhere I go, I bring a camera, in case I spot a picture worth capturing.I love to write, which is why I have a blog (although typing and spelling are my weakness).

I especially love composing poetry, because I love the way that words sound. It thrills me when I find a word combination that sounds like it fits, like a puzzle piece. Right now, I am working on novel, which I’ve been working on for the past year, I think. I like to sew with my sewing machine. I would like to learn to cross-stitch too, though. I am getting pretty good at crocheting. You know what they say, like mother like daughter. In case you didn’t know, my mom is a crocheting MANIAC!!! (In a good way of course! :D) Afghans are her specialty, although she also makes ponchos, scarves, hats, shawls, and wraps, to be a light for Jesus, so that His grace and mercy will be shown to all through me.

Maintaining my purity all throughout my life and living a life in line with God’s Will for me! One day I hope to become a good mother to my children, and be good at caring for my husband.
