Well, it was a bit of pressure for me with things so unsettled around here. But Rebecca is the kind of girl who is just so satisfied and easy to please that we had loads of success.
I picked up Becca and 4 of her schoolmates from school to come over to our place. And the neighbor girl from our old house met us there. The weather had rained all morning but for the 3 hours of her party it cleared, warmed up and the girls were outside for most of the time. Becca said that she and her friend Kiley had prayed about it and God really answered! Just as we were climbing into the van to take people home it started to thunder!
Becca had the idea of having mini treats. And we made mini cakes for everyone (brownies) that they decorated and then Josh gave prizes for most creative, colorful etc. 
We keep saying that this little porch is one of the best things about this house. We host so many guests for meals, coffee, meetings and this place is just the right space for us. It was great to see Becca with these girls from school. She and Kiley Jackson have been friends since they were babies, but the other girls are friendships she's worked towards. Sometimes in her class that's been difficult. Two of the girls have moved to our school in the last year or two and they are real answers to prayer. It was obvious that this was a group of Rebecca's friends, so sweet and friendly, gentle and joyful! Happy Golden Birthday Rebecca!
