Cher here with a birthday blog. If this isn’t used on her day, it will be used shortly after. As you read recently, there are some changes afoot. I thought I would write a little something to take just ONE thing off her plate. That plate is overflowing.
I write about Hailey pretty consistently, as you have seen, we are very close. She has been a really beautiful and amazing part of my life and has aided in my growth in self-awareness as well as my walk with the Lord.
I wanted to share something from a best-selling book that reminds me of my best friend, because Hailey can’t exactly be described with words. Parts of her are unexplainable to psychologists, simply because what she has from God is supernatural.
Many people wonder how Hailey does it; foster care, cancer, a hundred children, baking, planning trips, crocheting, etc., and keeps going until the day is done. No complaining. No dreading. No lost energy.
Well, I found the answer.
An excerpt from “The Power of Positive Thinking”
“This man, whose responsibilities are very heavy, works from morning until night without interruption, but always seems to assume new obligations. He has a knack of handling his work easily and with efficiency.
I commented to the physician that I hope this man was not setting a dangerous pace that might possibly lead to a breakdown.
The physician shook his head. “No,” he replied, ” as his physician I do not think there is any danger of a crack-up, and the reason is that he is a thoroughly well-organized individual with no energy leaks in his make-up. He operates a well-regulated machine. He is completely in harmony with God. In him there are no obsessions, no disorganizations, no conflicts, no mental quirks, and no mental instability. From his faith, he has learned how to avoid drainage of power.”
And that ladies and gentleman is the way Hailey operates. She is a force as she has a force within her.
One day there will be a book written about this remarkable lady. If not by me, then by one of the social workers who continuously remark of her care she provides to each child. They are baffled by what she does and often express how different and BETTAR she is than most.
Happy Birthday Hailey 🎂 You are truly a gift from God to everyone who has a chance to experience your love and warmth. I have never met another human being like you. And I am SO happy you were born. The world NEEDED you, and God makes no mistakes. Thank you for not only walking in your purpose but LEADING in your purpose. God has a photo of you in his wallet. I know it for sure.
I love you!
