It's My Birthday!!!!!

That's right! I am officially an A-D-U-L-T! Look out world... can you tell I'm just the slightest bit bored?

Well, anyway... so today I hit adult age legally however after having already started the "adulting" portion of my life...  ya know, paying bills, cleaning the apartment, working....etc... I just wanted to make a public service announcement to every young person dying to become an adult....

SLOW DOWN!!! It's not all it's cracked up to be and your going to miss the time when you weren't the one paying for the power you used, the hot water you used, or the gas to fuel your transportation. When you buy that first grocery bill and read your total be sure you have someone you trust standing close so that they can catch you because it's going to be A LOT.

I'm not saying that being an adult is 100% miserable all of the time, but I am saying that it's a big time wake up call that your parents are trying so hard to prepare you for with all of that advice you keep ignoring...

So I repeat... SLOW DOWN. Spend every second you have enjoying your childhood and don't waste a minute of it. Listen to your parent. Learn responsibility, but right now... have fun. Don't run head first towards your adulthood because I promise you you'll wish you hadn't.

Am I happy? Absolutely!!! I am getting ready to marry my best friend! I am moving towards the "I do's" with each passing day.

Now... to my original point of this post (hence the title of this post) IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I have been alive for 21 years today. God brought me into the world screaming and crying knowing the plans He had for me. Knowing that I would one day meet Charles and be planning our wedding. Knowing that I would start Great News Ministries. Knowing that I would be writing to you all right now on this blog...

He knew all of the crap I would go through before coming to know Him as my Savior and Redeemer on April 4, 2012 and He knew that I would be spending today knowing that He has allowed me to be on this earth for 21 years and spend the last 4 years of those 21 in service to Him.

God continuously blesses me beyond anything and everything I could ever hope and imagine, and I pray that He will help me to serve Him with all I've got for as long as I've got:)
