ALSO HAVE THESE LYRICS FROM ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS:
THIS IS ME.
"BUT I WON'T LET THEM BREAK ME DOWN TO DUST
I KNOW THAT THERE'S A PLACE FOR US
FOR WE ARE GLORIOUS


WHEN THE SHARPEST WORDS WANNA CUT ME DOWN
I'M GONNA SEND A FLOOD, GONNA DROWN 'EM OUT
I AM BRAVE, I AM BRUISED
I AM WHO I'M MEANT TO BE, THIS IS ME
LOOK OUT 'CAUSE HERE I COME
AND I'M MARCHING ON TO THE BEAT I DRUM
I'M NOT SCARED TO BE SEEN I MAKE NO APOLOGIES, THIS IS ME"

 GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU. HE'S TRULY AMAZING AND I'M SO THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING HE'S DONE FOR ME, LIKE PUT YOU IN MY LIFE. I'M ALSO SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU KNOW HIM AND ARE GETTING TO KNOW HIM BETTER WITH EACH DAY. MORE LYRICS FROM WAY MAKER, ANOTHER FAVOURITE SONG OF MINE

"WAY MAKER, MIRACLE WORKER, PROMISE KEEPER
LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
MY GOD, THAT IS WHO YOU ARE
YEAH, YEAH
WAY MAKER, MIRACLE WORKER, PROMISE KEEPER
LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS MY GOD, THAT IS WHO YOU ARE
SING THAT IS WHO YOU ARE
...
LET'S SING THIS TOGETHER
EVEN WHEN I DON'T SEE IT, COME ON, EVEN WHEN
EVEN WHEN I DON'T SEE IT, YOU'RE WORKING
EVEN WHEN I DON'T FEEL IT, YOU'RE WORKING
YOU NEVER STOP, YOU NEVER STOP WORKING YOU NEVER STOP,
YOU NEVER STOP WORKING (COME ON)"

FROM THE BLESSING (WHICH I'M LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW SINGING MY HEART OUT)
"THE LORD BLESS YOU
AND KEEP YOU
MAY HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU
AND BE GRACIOUS TO YOU
THE LORD TURN HIS
FACE TOWARD YOU
AND GIVE YOU PEACE
...
MAY HIS PRESENCE GO BEFORE YOU
AND BEHIND YOU AND BESIDE YOU
ALL AROUND YOU AND WITHIN YOU
HE IS WITH YOU, HE IS WITH YOU

IN THE MORNING, IN THE EVENING
IN YOUR COMING, IN YOUR GOING
IN YOUR WEEPING, IN YOUR REJOICING
HE IS FOR YOU, HE IS FOR YOU

IF YOU EVER WANT TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING PM ME, OKAY? I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME. I DON'T THINK I EXPRESSED IT ENOUGH BUT-

 ILYSM INFINITE LOVE AND HUGS HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAYS YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE FOREVER, -NAOMI ❤️ 

Rays, you've done so much to help other people. Honestly, it's kinda scary how nice you are. (I secretly want to stab pretty much everyone to the tune of Old McDonald, so I have no idea how you do it.) You always know the right thing to say, especially in your poems, which leave me with a goofy grin. (*Aw, shucks! Hoo hoo!* Ignore this, I find weird references in everything) I could pull out a dictionary and compliment you until there are no more words I can say, but it still wouldn't be able to explain just how extraordinary you are. No seriously, i've looked through the dictionary and there are a lot. (Don't judge, my third grade self decided that reading an entire dictionary would be fun. Along with the phone book. Again, don't judge) I think everyone can agree that you don't give yourself enough credit. So today, take the day to celebrate what a bad bitch are and bask in the presents! I love you so much, and happy birthday! <333 (btw, ignore literally whatever Tish says about me)
-Beth (not Bethany)

Rays, Ray Bean, Ray of Sunshine, and of course - my Ray Bans - damn it, Grammarly wanted to change that to Ray-Bans - oops, that was random. Now back to the point. Happy birthday!!!! (I'm tempted to continue spamming exclamation marks for a whole page and exclaim the heck out of this, but I have a feeling that Beth(any) would not appreciate that. You're a freakin fabulous, stunning, incredible, *pulls out thesaurus*, fantastic, awesome, prodigious- *pauses* how is prodigious a synonym of awesome? Welp, you get the point - I  can continue rambling for endless eons about how freaking amazing you are, but I'll shut up now. I love you so so much, to andromeda and back - and you literally deserve everything. I love our chaotic conversations with our ridiculous humor and our fun *smirking emoji* talks. No matter what happens, I know you'll be there to support me - and I love you so much for that - for always seeing the best in people. So keep on kicking life in its arse (oh dear, my British is showing) and keep on being the spunky, bad bitch you are. I'm so glad that I stumbled across your profile and became your friend. And if you don't get the amazing birthday you deserve, I am going to take off my flip-flop and smack the world for not giving you the best birthday ever. I love you Raylee.
XOXD, Tish <3
