dear little bby tt,
For this last week leading up to your birthday I intentionally prayed for you and asked what God had for you. I am so excited to share with you! I love you so much and am so sad I can’t be there with you to celebrate! I am so excited for what this year has in store for you and how you are going to grow and learn! Also congrats on beating teen pregnancy!!!
Here are some of my prayers and some things the Lord has declared over you:
Joshua confidence: go read through the things he did and how he lead. He felt inadequate and weak but through Gods call he had courage and confidence.
Tanner you’re such a good friend you pursue and love people well. You bring people along on your fun adventures and make them apart of your journey.
I pray that this year would be a year of running after God. Intentionally pursuing Jesus in new ways.
Abundance.
Favor.
Called.
Pursued.
Forgiven.
Being seen as cool/good in the worlds eyes is good but if you are doing that at the sacrifice of Gods call it means nothing.
God has more for you. Be expectant in this next year.
Your relationship with Jesus looks different then everyone else’s don’t compare because that will bring doubt and steal your joy.
You are stepping into a season of freedom.
Go from being inspired to inspiring.
The things that inspire you would be more then just inspiration but become an out pour.
Tanner you strive for greatness and push me higher in that. Thank you. Push yourself higher.
You have amazing work ethic, use that for Jesus.
You were designed to design.
Luke 9:23.
Romans 12:1.
Also go listen to love story by Taylor Swift and sing your little heart out.
Tanner I love you so much. Thank you for pushing me and being my friend. I am so excited for what this next year has in store for you. God is doing great things in you, step into them!!!
Happy birthday.
For those reading be inspired by the words God spoke over Tanner. Take courage. Inspire others. Die to yourself. You are deeply loved. Deeply pursued. Lean back into Jesus today. Forgive because you are forgiven. Push each other higher.
The way Tanner has pushed me higher and strives to be better has made me realize how much I settle for mediocracy. When things get hard I usually give up. I get inspired and empowered and I stay in an apathetic state. God speaking these words over Tanner to me this last week showed me this. I struggle with self discipline and working hard when things get hard but God has called us higher. Thanks tanner for exampling that to me and thanks God for reminding me of that.
So my encouragement to everyone is to pursue Jesus hard and work at things hard for the glory of God.
