22 Years and Counting!!

 Well tomorrow, 3/11/2015 will be my 22nd birthday. But it's a bit of a bitter sweet moment I suppose. I'm getting old lol. My older sister just had her 25th birthday this past January (She's getting SUPER old). It's funny because growing up you seem to always live in the moment. You talk sometimes about what you want to be when you grow up, that sort of thing. But many people don't actually think about what happens when that time comes. 

I'm am interesting individual. My mother used to tell me I was akin to Peter Pan because I never wanted to grow up. And I suppose to this day, a part of that is still with me. Don't get me wrong I am an adult and I am aware of and do take care of my responsibility. However, I can be super childish :) But that's something about myself that I would never want to change because I LOVE it!!

I'm that 21 year old who would go to Chuck-E-Cheese. I would play in the McDonald's Play-Place if I wouldn't get into trouble. And yes I am still very much a HUGE fan of swing sets, as well as riding mechanical animals outside of convenience stores!

As time passes you begin to look at life more carefully. Opinions change, views change. For some they have their entire life planned out from early on, and for some people those plans actually work out! And then you have the people like myself, who aren't entirely sure where they're going. It's not always a bad things to be truthful. But overall I trust the Lord with my life and everything in it. As written in the song "Walk by Faith." "I will walk by faith, even when I cannot see." That's what we often have to do in life and in our walk with  God.

I want to take this time now to thank Him for everything. For 22 wonderful years of life. For always being there for me and never giving up on me. Whenever I felt abandoned and alone, the mere thought of His great love for me was enough to bring me back. "For He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." He has done many great things for me and I pray he will continue as I move forward in life on a path that glorifies Him. Doing that which is right in his eyes. Moving forward to live and even better and more dedicated life to Him is what I'll do from my 22nd onward. 

And thanks to all those family and true friends who have been there for me or have supported me and any way. Just knowing that people care is always enough. I hope to make many more great friends like you in the coming years of my life, exploring other aspects and things in life. Having people like you in my  life brings me a great joy like no other!!!
