On my Birthday....

I have been vacant for awhile. I got really sick over Christmas, was so busy (which is probably why i got sick...run-down), then I left for new staff YL training in Georgia, and recently I have been playing catch up. But today is my birthday and so I had to write! I had to write to say that although this is my last year in my 20's (gasp!), I'm not sad. And yet I nearly died when I turned 25 b/c I thought I was so old! Ha! That is when my body changed though...dang it! But today I am not sad. I am blessed! God has brought me so far with Him and I am so thankful for His faithfulness! I am blessed today! This year He has my heart! And He has been wanting it for so long! And I have been wanting to give it to Him for so long! But it's been a rough walk through the pains of the past. But today, that is just what they are...the past! This year my gaze is focused straight before Him! I give Him me this year! I have so much more to write but I have to get ready for my big day...shopping in Highland village and the galleria with my dear loved ones, lunch at RA sushi, dinner at Taste of Texas...Yes! But this one if not only for God...it is for you to Amanda! I finally wrote a blog...per your request. :) Get ready girl, b/c I have started writing my book too.....Thank you for saving me in so many ways, Jesus!!!! :) I love you!
