We love you so much and can't believe how hard it is to imagine what our lives were like before you were here. We thank God that He has given us the joy and privilege of calling you our daughter. Your smiles, laughter and snuggles have helped us to forget so much of the hurt and stress of this past year, and you have given our lives an even brighter future. We pray that, as you grow, you will discover how much God has already blessed you and used you to bless others...He has a very special purpose for you, and we believe that you can do all things with His presence in your life.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
Please, feel free to leave a comment for Gwyneth as well. Although it will be a while before she is able to understand what today means, we look forward to sharing with her the things we have recorded on this blog as well as every encouraging comment and prayer when she is old enough.

May you grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus!

Talk about a life being an altar of remembrance. You can't look at this precious child without acknowledging the wonder of God, the One who can do FAR beyond what we can imagine.
ReplyDeleteGwyneth, God handpicked this union of parents and child--special love that no others can give. A foundation of Love and Truth has already been poured out in your spirit, claiming you as His. Praying all His best for you. It has been a privilege to peek into your world and watch Love. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Gwyneth.

ReplyDeleteHappy 1st Birthday Gwyneth. Your a SUPER STAR.
ReplyDeleteI've followed your mommy and daddy's blog since before you were born. I've prayed with them when things were a little shaky. The one thing I can honestly say, YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN SO MANY PEOPLES LIVES> Not only your family, but bloggers, people who have followed your entrance into the world. You are God's Promise that you will have eternal life with him if you follow His commandments. What an AWESOME thought. I pray that not only your 1st but all your birthday's to follow will be as special as this one. Your a very special little lady and the Lord has a very special place in the world for you to be and special things to do. I can't wait to see what else unfolds in your little life.
God Bless You and Sweet Dreams of Birthday Angels.

ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if Daddy will post a picture of you with your little pug today, to remind all of your friends around the world of how absolutely amazing your journey has been in this first year of your life! Already, Sweet Baby, God has used your (often very tenuous) life, together with your Daddy's gifts of writing and photography and your Mommy's gift of faith (what an understatement!) to show Himself to millions of people around the world who never knew Him before. He has given you quite a story to tell, Little One! I will continue to stand in awe of Him who has done so much in your life already, as He continues to reveal His Promise in and through you! Have a wonderful birthday celebration today, with your big family who loves you so very much!
Happy Birthday Gwyneth, the Superbaby! It has been amazing to see how God has worked in your precious little life this past year! You have given thousands of people a glimpse of God's Almighty Power! I know just as your parents state with God in your life you will be able to do amazing things that will bring Him Glory! May you always be blessed in Jesus Name!

God has very special plans for you and already He has been using your miraculous story to touch the hearts of so many people all across the world.
These words the God first said to a prophet called Jeremiah I think are truly words for you as well:
"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations" (Jer 1v5)
May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Happy Birthday Gwyneth!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a beautiful little girl that has inspired so many of us with your spirit. You gave your mommy & daddy such a beautiful reason to hope and believe. You are too little right now to know how many people are out here praying for you and your mom every day but someday when they tell you, I am sure that you will be amazed. You are such a miracle that has affected all of us that "know" you. I hope you enjoy this birthday and many more to come.
Love,

Happy Birthday, sweet Gwyneth girl! What an honor it has been to see you grow from such a frail premature infant to a happy, beautiful one year old. We feel so blessed to have watched from the "outside," even while we prayed so much and so deeply for you and for your Mommy and Daddy - and still do and still will.
ReplyDeleteWe are a family with eight children. Our little girl (who is also one) is wearing pink and brown in honor of YOU today!
Love in Jesus,

Happy Birthday miracle girl! God has great things planned for you!
ReplyDeleteHappy 1st Birthday Gwyneth! It sure has been a long ride for your mommy and daddy to get you to this point.
ReplyDeleteWe are in Indianapolis where we have The Colts, the NCAA, a pretty big race track, 4 distinct seasons of weather, some corn and soybeans, & a little love of basketball. Like many people around the world, we have followed your daddy's web blog and read daily each and every tidbit of information he shares about your trials, your progress, your funnies and your joys.
We, too, were surpised at how you and your wonderful mommy and daddy inspired us. We founds ourselves, worrying, laughing, praying in tears, and smiling right along with you.
Today, we are celebrating by sporting pink and brown today. Very cool color combination right now, you know. ;-) You are being treated to the best of the best, baby girl, but that is because you are a MIRACLE on this earth.
We have all seen firsthand God's work in you and we are so excited to watch you grow. God created you and loved you long before you were born and that is the most exciting part.
I don't want to fail to mention, how GRATEFUL we are to see you doing so well. We continue to cover your family in prayer and know that the angels have you all wrapped in their wings.
Love,
the Roark family

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, GWYNETH!!!
ReplyDeleteThough I don't truly know any of you, your life, and that of your parents, has blessed my life and encouraged me this year. A year ago I pleaded with God to honor your mom's great faith and obedience by saving your life and hers. I was reminded in a powerful way of the power of prayer, and of the goodness and power of God in all circimstances.
As you grow, I pray that you follow in your parents' footsteps and develop your own strong faith and courage to follow
God wherever he leads. May God continue to bless you and use your amazing story, little Gwyneth!\
