Happy Birthday to Me: Yellow Flare Dress.


This birthday morning, I woke up with a bit of a tummy upset, probably from enjoying too many groundnuts yesterday. But after that first little episode, I felt much better and immediately started dancing and thanking God for this amazing journey of life. I prayed and sang praises. God has been so incredibly faithful to me, I can't even begin to tell you all. I am living proof that God is good and that He loves us. My heart is overflowing with joy! Some people are spending their birthdays in hospital beds, others are surrounded by loved ones but can't even speak, some aren't even aware of what's happening around them. But here I am! I don't take this for granted for a single moment. My heart is filled with so much joy. I know heaven has blessed this earth with me, and I know heaven is rejoicing with me today. I know God is smiling because His daughter is here, serving Him. I thank God for my life. I come from a family that is stable and deeply rooted in God's word. God placed me in that family, and I believe it's one of the greatest gifts He's given me. I am so thankful. God is truly wonderful, and He has given me so much that I can't even begin to express it all. Please join me in thanking God for the gift of life—a life of productivity, a life filled with love and heavenly protection. No evil can touch me.


Dancing to music, I dressed up, completely overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. It's truly God's grace that has sustained me. My partner couldn't contain his joy either. He started dancing and put on a new shirt and jeans to celebrate my birthday. We headed out to get Greggs, but we also brought along my birthday rice that he made last night. After that, we went for a trip to Loch Leven, and I spent my birthday surrounded by nature. If you've seen my birthday wishlist, you'll know that I also wanted to get my hair done in a particular style, and I did. I'll be sharing more about Loch Leven soon, but for now, enjoy these photos. And if you noticed my heels, my partner also bought them for me as part of my birthday gift, and I wore them with my favorite yellow dress from Shein. I just want to thank God for a beautiful birthday that went so smoothly. I'm so glad I received wishes from my family. My parents are especially happy, and I'm just filled with joy. It's amazing how much joy I feel today. Honestly, God is indeed faithful. Happy birthday to me and to everyone born today. God bless you all.

  12. Felicidades, en las fotos se ve lo radiante y feliz que estas. Aunque en alguna foto posas con una mirada un tanto melancólica.
    Si los regalos físicos son preciosos, por lo que nos dices esa unión familiar creo que es el mejor de los regalos.

    Saludos.

  22. Ooops, it looks like I'm late to the party ;) Happy belated birthday, Melody! What a beautiful way to spend your special day! I love how grateful you are - gratitude is such a lovely trait, unfortunately, not so common anymore.
    Also, I love yellow as it is so vibrant and energetic. It does suit you, girl. Lucky you! I don't really wear it, there are other colours that look way better on me.
    And yes, I noticed your new heels! :D Great gift!
