I see you

Hello.  I see you.  I am not going to write your name here because I don't think you would want your name written.  But you know who you are.  

Today is your birthday.  We are birthday buddies.  My birthday was just a few days ago.  It is fun to share my birthday with you.  I hope it is fun for you too!  

I just want you to know that I see you.  You are a very talented person.  You love God dearly, as you do those closest to you.  It has been fun working with you over these many years.  Watching you learn to trust me.  I remember when I first met you, you told me that you didn't have any friends.  This was your choice.  You said that people were not trustworthy.  But I saw a crack starting.  You let me in enough to tell me that.  

I know that we have had our share of disagreements.  It has been a challenge for both of us sometimes.  But I feel like those times built our trust a little more each time they happened.  I am different than most people who you have dealt with in the past.  I don't like to let things fester.  I have learned from my experiences in the past that this doesn't work for me.  Thank you for having the patience to work through those things.  

It has been so good to watch you on your financial journey.  I am often envious of your ability to catch onto a thought and then move quickly in that direction, when it takes me a little longer to do that.  But you are an inspiration.  I know I will get there some day!!  

And you take such good care of your body.  It is fun to walk with you on that journey.  Again, your commitment is awesome.  You find something and move forward.  And thank God for Dr. Oz!  :-)  

Happy birthday you.  I see you.  I admire you.  I have watched and I will continue watching your adventure.  Thank you for sharing yourself with me.  And for trusting me...even when you thought you wouldn't.
