Today was my sixteenth birthday!
I've had a great day, I feel very loved and appreciated by my family & friends.
The Lord has given me a very good and blessed life, I couldn't ask for more.
He also gave me the best parents in the world, I appreciate the way that they have raised me and the character quality's they have instilled in me.
They have shown me what a rich and Godly heritage we have. And how "true" Holiness is not a religion, It's a personal walk with Jesus day in and day out.
They have taught me to keep my eyes on Jesus, And while other people disappoint you he will never.
Daddy & Mama thank you for the way you have raised me and for all that you do.
People may have called you crazy for the way you've raised us, But you were raising us according to God's word.
And God gave you the wisdom to parent us, I know there were times when it wasn't easy.
But thank you for never giving in and fighting for us with all that you had.
Thank you for showing me how to be a Young Godly Lady, and for being the example before me.
I Love you both very much :)
I also have the best sister's in the world, Kelsey & kaity you guys are my best friends and I love you! Your always there for me when I need you just like I'am for you.
Though we have gone through a lot it has drawn us closer to God, and Closer to each other.
We're not perfect and we don't try to be, we just try to live according to God's word.
Do we make mistakes? Yes of course we do, we live in a fallen world, and like I said we're not perfect. (No one is) But we go back and make it right with each other and God, and then we go on.
I thank God for the last sixteen years, and I'm excited for the next sixteen.
I know God has a plan and purpose for my life, I can't wait to fulfill them.
And I hope to bring Honor & Glory to his name.
*A HEART 4 GOD*
This is beautiful and even though I don't know you personally I am inspired by your very mature words. It's nice to see that there are some teens coming up in the admonition of the Lord these days. I just wanted to point out that not only does God have a plan & purpose for you life in the future but that you are walking it out every day. This blog is the perfect example of living your purpose and if you only touched me and your family with it then that is huge in the sight of God because He knows what he wanted to do with it. Thanks for being obedient, it's worth it. Be blessed and Happy Sweet 16!!
