It's My Birthday!!!

I've come a long way!! I thank God for keeping me and giving me another year of life. I feel like I'm slowly but surely coming up on my reasons for being here and that's an exciting and fulfilling thing. I'm also thankful for the beautiful, new friendships I've been blessed with as well as the ones that have withstood the test of time, new experiences, and God breathing new life into dead situations. I'm thankful for God having a plan and a purpose for my life...I'm thankful for the good and bad...it made me who I am. I learned some tough lessons these past couple of years...made some mistakes but, they taught me a lot about myself and others and I'm all the more wise for it. 

I have accepted the fact that my life just really isn't about me. I'm so appreciative of the lessons God is teaching me. He never said we wouldn't have struggle and strife, but what we can be sure of is that He will be right there with us when we're in the thick of it. Working on my relationship with God has made a positive impact in every other area of my life, which makes sense because He truly is THEE foundation. I'm excited about my future and His plans for me...grateful to have reached my 26th birthday in good health, in the company of good friends, having a good ol' time lol.

I'm grateful for my soul's condition. The older I get, the more I appreciate how He made me. It took a while for me to get to this point, but I'm glad I've arrived. I still have some work to do, but I give myself credit for at least putting in work. My Pastor always says "I'm not where I want to be, but thank God I'm not where I used to be" and to that I say AMEN!!!!!!!!! So today, I celebrate Him for making me :). 

I'm just happy to be here yall.

And yes...I wore that pin all day at Coachella lol.
