Happy Birthday Ginger! May 2011

1. Happy Birthday Ginger!
You are loved!

2. Ginger,
Birthday greetings to the world traveler! We all miss you here but realize the
benefits of what God is doing in you and through you will be awesome! I
pray that your love for our Lord is growing deeper and deeper as you see His
heart for other nations.
Two Scriptures come to my heart for you:
Philippians 1:9-11 – ―And this I pray, that your love may abound still more
and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the
things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the
day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus
Christ to the glory and praise of God.‖
Philippians 4:4-7 – ―Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let
your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for
nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let
your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus.‖
Have a great birthday and rest of your ―trip‖!
In Him, Bruce Eveleth

6. Ginger,
What a great day it is ... the day that God created you! I'm praising Him
because YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made ... and created in His
image!
Your joy and laughter are contagious! Here is a Scripture and a prayer for
you for this year !
My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have
delivered.
~Psalm 71:23
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy
and be glad all our days.
~Psalm 90:14
May your contagious laughter, huge smile and incredible joy draw people
to God all around the world!
And, may you always be satisfied with Him!
Love you tons and praying for you!
~Kendra

7. Missing you this summer ESPECIALLY on
your birthday!! I know you love blue
skies-- so I like blue moon, what about
it? :) recognize my bracelet? I carry you
with me everyday - it's just on my wrist
AND in my heart now.
SaraHoy and I were talking about FL
yesterday and how much Sugar and Soy
Sauce miss Spice! We were starting to
plan our next visit but your getting back
in the summer and we (well, mostly me)
wanna wait til after soggy-butt season...
So maybe like Oct or Nov :)
Thanksgiving in Okeechobee?? IDK. Just
enjoy your last couple months out there,
ok? Cuz you'll be home before you know
it and you can't go wishing away these
precious moments in the grip of His love!
There's many much more for you!
Happy Birthday Ging! Don't forget to
make your list- we'll share when we're
back in each other's presence, ok!? ;)

8. Ginger:
I miss you and your smile so much! I pray
you have a wonderful birthday filled w/ "blue
skies and blessings"! I finally truly could
appreciate that greeting once I moved to FL.
I think of you often when I look at that
beautiful blue sky. I am so thankful for you
and all the work you are doing and the
people you are blessing through the world
race. Happy Birthday Ginger!
Love & Blessings,
Melissa Patrick :)

11. Whenever I see blue skies - even
just slivers of them! - here in State
College, I think of you. I wish you a
happy birthday and a new year of
life that is filled with expectations
and with delight in small blessings.
Love,
Ruth Nissly

12. Happy Birthday Ginger! Missing you on
the Bend, but it's exciting to see what
God is doing in the places you're going
to...love reading your blog! -Elliot

13. Ginger!!!!!!
Happy birthday sweet girl! I am so proud of you as you spend
your birthday right smack in the middle of where God wants you!
THAT is a beautiful thing! Celebrate!
I just asked the Lord for a word for you. He whispered I
Thesalonians 3 into my heart. Verse 12 and 13 say, "May the Lord
make your love increase and overflow for each other and for
everyone else, just as ours does for you. May He strengthen your
heart so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of
your God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all His holy
ones."
So, that is my birthday prayer for you. That your love would
increase and overflow for your team and in turn for those you are
serving. That as you love, you would sense and know how much
we love you back here in the states! :) And, most of all, that you
would know and experience how crazy in love Jesus is with you!!!
I am praying that He strengthens your heart supernaturally in a
way that you cannot understand or explain but in a way that fills
you up like nothing else can! I love you! Lisa

15. Hi Ginger
I bet you thought we would not remember...hum how
could we forget our smiling servant....
Happy Birthday to you and I pray you are blessed
beyond measure with today being filled with the love
and encouragement and joy you bring to others. I am
asking Jesus to surprise you with unanswered prayer
being answered and dreams and visions restored. I am
also asking Jesus to hold you close as He pours his love
and spirit in new ways into your life.
I would send you some cake but somehow I am sure it
be green by the time it got there!
Love and blessings
Carol

16. Happy birthday Ginger! Don't worry, things
haven't changed much around here since
you've been gone (see photo). We miss you
and we love you!
-Emily & John

17. Ginger:
Wow…I sure would enjoy hearing some of
your birthday reflections this time around. I
can only imagine what you have been
hearing from the Lord as you are circuiting His
planet. Thank you for taking this adventure
on behalf of the rest of us. Ginger
gospelseed (better than Johnny), spreading
the little nougats of life as you go.
May He give you great things on this
celebration of your life.

18. Ginger,
Bet you can recognize this spot on the Dixie!
One of the many things I miss is my snail mailings to you of the Bull Joke
page. Here is one for a chuckle on your birthday and team Rodeo:
Not Quite a Cowboy
More than anything, Billy wanted to be a cowboy. Taking pity on him, a
rancher decided to hire the lad and give him a chance. "This is a lariat," the
rancher said while showing him a rope. "We use it to catch cows". "I see,"
Billy said, trying to seem knowledgeable as he examined the lariat. "And
what do you use for bait?"
Happy, Happy Birthday!
Bushels, tons and heaps of love,
Mom and Dad

19. Lovebugs…
Can you guess where these are located?
(from mom & dad)

20. GINGA!!!
My Oh My how YOU are so dearly missed
As your birthday approaches, I thought of a list!
From star gazing, praying and grape fights galore
It's hard for me to pin point what I miss more
You loyalty, love, and bright cheery ways
Or your love for the Lord through out the days
I've decided not to pick or select only one
But share with you, so it would be more fun!
Where two or more are gathered, He is in our midst
Sometimes it's hard and we have to throw fist
At the end of the day, no matter how far a part
I'm thankful to know, by God's beautiful art
That you are living for the Lord and are a Sister in Christ!
As we celebrate You here and you celebrate there
I can not be more thankful for the life He did spare
and then brought us together for fellowship to share!
Looking forward to seeing you face to face soon
With blue skies, bright smiles and a colorful balloon
We wish you a Happy Birthday dear Ginger Kay!
With so much love from miles and miles away!
Happy Birthday Ginge! Can't wait to see you again!
In Christ's Victory - Kel

My dear friend, Happy Birthday! It has been a lovely adventure
following your blog and hearing about all that God has done in
and through you this past year.
You are much loved, and much missed back here in the states. No
one here will ever see blue skies and not think of you!!!
You are a special gift to all of us and I'm so thankful for all of our
memories.
Praying that as you finish up this journey, that God will give you
strength to finish the race, joy in your new friendships, and peace

27. Dear Ginger,
A birthday wish for you:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God. And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Thank you, Ginger, for allowing God to use your
talents to reveal the needs in this world that we do not
see or want to ignore. You have gone in faith to
remind us of what God is calling each of us to do - to
follow him and not look back. Thank you for following
Him and showing us the world He wants us to love…
Love,
Tracy R
