.twenty.three.

WooHoo! I have officially made it to 23, quite an accomplishment I guess. I know I am just a baby still and am growing, learning and maturing daily,  but I cannot help but look back on what I remember of the past 23 years, or maybe 20 some years, because I don't really remember much from birth till who knows how old. When I look back all I can say is this:

Twenty three years with you God! It hasn't been an easy or charming road, but I couldn't be more thankful that you walked it with me. I love you! Thank you for your saving grace, your mercy, & your love. I cannot say that I would be here today without you. All of my heart cry's thank you faithful Savior!

Life has been more incredible than I even have words for. I am so entirely captivated by the love of God. To be in His presence is a radical place. Believe me you will be overwhelmed more than you can stand. I have come to know Him and the fullness of what grace & mercy mean. Learning to live in a constant state of surrender is hard, but it will mold you into who God has created you to be. I stand confident today being able to say this, God , even if you never do anything else, it is okay, because You have already done enough! Through everything, God has taught me to always have a heart of gratitude. He is my love & my life.
