NO WAY!! How can you be 26, when it seems like only yesterday you were 19 and getting married?!? Brian, I have grown to love you more and more each day. I have watched you grow (and you continue to do so) in wisdom and humility and in a great desire to be like the Master. What a thrill that is for me as your MIL. I love your smile. I love the way you love the Lord first, then my daugter and my granddaughter. Thank you for being ALL AND MORE than I could have ever dreamed of as a Son-In-Law.
I just wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy Birthday. It's been a blessing knowing and working with you, and I know the Lord will continue to use you in a mighty way.
Looking forward to getting together next time I'm back home.
Well we have never met, but I do know Joy. I hope one day we will meet! And I know if Joy choose you, you must be special. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. And that this next year for you both be full of many blessings, and new adventures.
Blessing and peace to you on your birthday, friend. You and your family mean so much to me and set an example of a loving, Christ-seeking household. I'm celebrating with you as you mark a new year in your life - and add a new role of Father.
Brian...my brother. Hope you are having a great Birthday. Can't believe you are already 36...what's that Holli?...He's 26?...Ooopsy Daisies. Just kidding buddy, although I must say that you carry yourself very well for a young man. Holli and I admire you and I'm very proud to know you and call you my friend. I'm looking forward to hearing all about the new insight you gain as you continue in life as a son of the Most Holy, as a man, and now as father. Love you, and miss you. Happy Birthday!
Brian, Happy Birthday. I have learned so much from you, and for that I am grateful. I hope that you enjoy your birthday with your wife and daughter. I pray that your life will continue to be used to bless others. Chris
Hey Brian, Happy Birthday! It's a joy to work with you and see your heart for the Lord. You serve Him and your family with grace, passion and maturity. Thanks for being a blessing here at Grace. Gretchen
Brian, Happy Birthday!!!!! May this be the best birthday ever because it is your first with little Lucy. If she's anything like her mother there's always a party when she's around any way. I am so glad God put these girls in your life to lighten you up!!! Really I just want you to know you are special to me and I am proud to know you - you have impressed me with your integrity, love for the Lord and your wisdom. I really do have to smile when I think of how God put you and Joy together to balance each other out. I know God does have a sense of humor - you had to have someone to use that wisdom on. You guys are wonderful together.
Happy Birthday! It has been so much fun for me to get to know you better these past months. The more I get to know you, the more I appreciate the integrity and conviction you bring to so much of what you do. Thanks for wanting to know Jesus better. Thanks for wanting to be authentic in what you do. Thanks for being willing to step out of the box in approaching things like worship and ministry. It is great to be on the same team with you.
I look forward to what the Lord has in store for us in the months and years ahead.
As one of Pooh's friends say... Many Happy Returns of the Day....
Congratulations on being born! I'm really proud of you!
It seems like just over a month ago I was celebrating my birthday and you wished me a happy birthday. But alas, it only seems that way because the truth is, you FORGOT my birthday and made no mention of it. But, I'm not bitter. In fact, I don't even remember that you didn't wish me a happy birthday, despite the fact that I was sitting less than two feet from you for over an hour and a half while eating breakfast...on MY birthday. Yes..., I've completely forgotten about it. But I haven't forgotten your birthday.
brian - i am so blessed to have you and joy in my life. i so admire the inner strength and wisdom you have that comes from you being a student of Christ. i pray that God will allow me to find someone that seeks after God as you do. you give me hope, us being fellow students of the great professor joy, our guide to finding that balance of introverts and extroverts, oh the journey. : ) thanks for letting me be part of the family (and putting up with my fear of stalkers). happy birthday! kim.
I gotta say it feels weird to think that you are only turning 26 this year. It feels like you are older than me. That's a good thing. You show a spiritual maturity beyond our years and for that we are all blessed. Happy first birthday as a dad Brian!
Happy Birthday Brian! It has been an honor getting to know you and having you as a friend. You are an inspiration to both of us and we have had so much fun getting to know you.
May God bless this year even more abundantly for you and Happy Birthday!!
