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:)

We Got the Apartment!

Okay, so somethings changed right after I posted and no one got to really know... THEY CALLED!!! WE GOT THE APARTMENT!!!!

Yes, we've done a happy dance. Yes, we are thrilled. Yes, God IS AMAZING! I can't wait to see what He has in store for us next! Thank you all for your prayers!! This is the shortest post ever but... that is all :)

Crazy. Random. Nervous Post O_O

It always seems that my posts have more and more time in between them, but life is busy as I am sure most of you know all too well. There has been a lot going on since I last posted. School, wedding plans, trying to get a place to live so that we aren't homeless after the wedding... 

I am sitting here as I type awaiting a phone call that will tell me whether or not Charles and I have gotten an apartment. I don't think I have ever been so nervous for anything in my entire life. THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Don't get me wrong, I know that if it's in God's will and apart of His plan it will all work out... however, I can't help but be nervous and hope and pray that it is in His will and that this phone call would hurry up and come and be good news.

Can you see my stress yet? Can you almost see the gray hairs this has created on my almost 21 year old head? This has been an ongoing super stress since Thursday of this past week. I am sick to my stomach, and I feel like my head won't stop spinning until the phone rings... then again that might make it spin faster until they tell me yes or no... 

You know the nervous I'm talking about, right? That, crawling-out-of-your-skin kind of nervous. 

I just looked at the clock and it is 8:52AM.... Their offices open at 8.... I hope they don't wait all day.... 

You all think I am crazy right now for typing this all up in a blog, but let me tell you it's helping. This post may be all over the place but hopefully it will make me feel better. 

I know what you're thinking though... You're wondering if I am going to write this post until they call.... well, I would like to say yes because that would mean they were going to call in the next few minutes however my answer would be, of course not! That would be insane! 

I am actually about to stop writing now... however... while we already have a small army of people praying for this to work out, we would love for that army to be enlarged. So will you pray with us... please? Pray that God would allow this all to go well... 

Thank you for putting up with this crazy post (if you made it this far, that is). May God bless you all with a wonderfully awesome day! Will hopefully post again soon (prayerfully with good news!)
