19 years 

19 whole years I’ve been alive
BUT also
19 years oh so young.

Hard to think that only one more year and I’m not a teenager anymore. Growing up is weird. I can remember when 19 year olds would come around and I would just look up to them mind blown at the fact that they’ve made it that long. But now I’m here!!

18 was good. 18 was oh so so good. I did a lot in a year…
I, 
-transferred schools
-graduated high school
-made more life long friends
-chose and went the world race
-got into my first car accident
-went music festivals
-went to 10 countries (more to come!!)
-had belly aching laughs
-slept on the trampoline
-went to the beach with 10 of my greatest friends
-did my first Mardi Gras
-spent days on the river
-had many jam sessions in the jeep with no doors or top on a pretty summer day
-had late night talks with good people
-visited my friends at college
-got way toooo sunburned
-spend my last minutes of being 18 sitting on a rooftop staring at the stars and mountains in the distance
…and many many more awesome things, memories, and accomplishments.

Glory all the Him. I’m so happy to serve such a great God. He is the one that brought me every moment and opportunity. It’s because of Him I’m spending 9 months of my life over seas, seeing his creations, spreading his word. How cool!

This next year, 19, is all to him. & the next 19 and many more after that.
