Birthday Boy

whisperings to my soul
of a child
born to shine as the sun’s rays
glistening on the waters
like stars in a dark universe
spreading hope and life
to the progeny of
despair and brokenness
destined for more
he is called by Him
whose breath brings life
life abundant
of a treasure
molded by the Sculptor
emboldened by His spirit
to dance
shout for glory
to speak beauty into the ashes
and words of redemption
to the depths
with overwhelming courage
and devotion
fearlessness
of love

“Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life”
-Philippians 2:14-16

This has been the verse on my heart since Caleb was born. May he be a light to a dark world! Happy Birthday sweet boy!
