For Marcia || early birthday

via we heart it

                 Yes, that is correct. Marcia's birthday is coming up right around the corner!!!

So all of you have probably met her, or are following her blog ((she is just slightly famous :) ) but in case you missed her, click here. 
I've always known that I am so very blessed to have such an incredible best friend and kindred like Marcia, but for those of you that haven't met her; perhaps you are wondering what she is like...

My earliest memories are of marcia standing up for me... of being there right when I needed her most. She has always understood me and even from when we were very young; she has always been there for me, and she always listens. always. I can count on her, and even though many miles separate us now; I feel that she is always with me in spirit. I feel that many years of beautiful friendship await us... in fact, I can picture us sitting in rocking chairs; with gray hair, and musing over how beautiful life was. :)

Marcia is an incredible photographer and I know she is going to be able to achieve great things through whatever she does. her passion is to take all of the beautiful moments in life and capture them through a camera lens. She always tends to look on the bright side of life... she will notice every small detail, and she is the one that has always reminded me that life is beautiful. Her testimony, and heart after Christ is such a blessing to me. She somehow always seems to know just when I need encouragement, but yet... she doesn't plan anything. She just says what is on her heart, and that has pointed me to the cross and challenged me so much.

I have many memories with Marcia, but there are some amazing and awesome ones from the time when she was able to spend a couple days with me last year. movie time, photo shoots, taking a walk when it was really chilly and we had a blast anyway, shopping... and so many more....

So here's to Marcia. to the one that can remind us to look for the little things in life with just one picture from her camera lens. here's to my best friend and forever kindred spirit. i love you. 

dearest anne,

happy ((early)) birthday!!!! I hope this year is better and more beautiful than any you have experienced yet. I pray that sunshine will follow you around, and even if rain clouds come that God will grant you the grace to see the rainbow through the storm. I pray that your life may be filled with people that draw you closer to Jesus and who make your heart soar with happiness... and that I might be able to see you again. soon. :) Seek Christ, and follow your dreams... 

I miss you. 

-your, diana.
