I, too, was one of those who wanted to have her children in her 20s. I married pretty young (at 21) and thought it would go just as I thought. God had other plans, though, and I'm constantly learning to love where I am in life now, which includes letting go of some of those old expectations. I'm convinced that what you and your husband have been through together in this last decade will lead to reaping great rewards in your 30s!<br /><br />Happy (belated) birthday!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939987028726182741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-31023811146494014252010-08-27T11:41:32.024-04:002010-08-27T11:41:32.024-04:00Happy birthday!!!

One thing though, maybe sometime you could share a post about how you and Ben met, fell in love, etc?

We have also been blessed by adoption, our little boy just turned one, and we have an open adoption. Your words speak to me, refresh me, and encourage me. It's so hard sometimes for others to understand open adoption and the love we have for the birthmom, but you put it perfectly. God is so good! And his plans for our life is perfect!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-8747357369575574892010-08-24T15:21:56.103-04:002010-08-24T15:21:56.103-04:00I love it!

For some it is hard to understand but you have the opportunity to be that light. You already are!<br /><br />I believe 30s have been the best so far (at least for me). I spent my 20's discovering who I was in Christ and now I am growing confidently everyday to embrace all that He has for me and allow Him to use me for things I never imagined. God is good!!!! <br />Happy belated birthday!Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254356331221159864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-2566753157968479442010-08-23T23:44:56.711-04:002010-08-23T23:44:56.711-04:00Happy and wonderous birthday our sweet Rebekah!

The depth of your heart is lovely and I am excited that we get to have you in our lives. I have always enjoyed getting older experiencing each season of life just as I did with the seasons of my girls lives as they grew up. God blesses you dear Rebekah and here is a big hug to bless you some more as you jouney into the celebration of your 29th year!

It's funny how when we're younger we decide that we'll do "this" by "this age" and we get older and realize that sometimes God has other plans for our life. It all works out as it's meant to, not how we think it will. I love that you have resigned yourself to enjoying the ride and looking forward to what comes next.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00460376149429373942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-75161904917580540792010-08-23T12:40:18.982-04:002010-08-23T12:40:18.982-04:00Happy bday!

My year #30 was surely a time of renewal and healing in my life, and I can honestly say that yes, getting older is a great adventure. Hope you have a fabulous year of ending your 20't and even more fabulous next year of entering your 30's. ;-)Annjerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758750709017524023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-58591780664282117732010-08-23T08:14:31.061-04:002010-08-23T08:14:31.061-04:00Happy Birthday.
