Guys, can you believe how fast time flies? I'm turning twenteen (yeah, stubborn denial. I wonder what I'd say when I turn 21) this Saturday and woah, I have a long list of folks that I'd like to thank so, BE YE FOREWARNED!
First of all, I would like to thank God for creating the world and making it possible for me to live in this place. For calling me into His heart, for loving me unconditionally and reminding me of it everyday. Thanks to my family for being the primary that God uses to make me feel loved and rebuke me and encourage me. Even to my extended family who tolerate me and laugh at my jokes (which, by the way, aren't all very funny). To my ever supportive church and pastors, you mold me, keep me grounded. I'm thankful for the fellowship and your patience with me. To heaven-sent best friends GATB, you will always hold a piece of my heart. To my highschool classmates who try not to look worried when i'm around, thank you for your trust. To my blog readers, THANKS for helping me fulfill my dream to be a writer (ALMOST). To my college classmates and friends, thank you for being a part of my two decades, even a part of myself.
Looking back, I may regret some things I've done but I do believe that things happen for a reason, and that even after everything, the verse 'all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose' (Romans 8:28) continues to be true.
And now, folks, a bunch of you have been asking me what I want for my birthday. I wouldn't mind if you hot me any of the following:
- Kendra Scott jewelry at Reeds.com (wut?! It's a rite of passage to the un-teen land)
- Socks (Black, Maroon and Navy Blue only please)
- Books (Christian, Leadership, Mystery or YA preferably)
- Oswald Chamber's My Utmost For His Highest Devotional (I lost my copy T.T)
- Food gift certificates
I'm still thinking of things, lol. But this no matter what, I'll be fine. I'm content, happy, peaceful. I'm so grateful to have lived this life and not be bitter about anything. Sure, I've made mistakes I regret, but I accept that that's inevitable. Instead of dwelling on the negativity of all that, I'm looking back at my wonderful memories, and looking towards where God is leading me in the future.
