Well, it officially happened. I turned 24. And in the midst of loss, heartache, and hurt in life, the Lord provided me with some very enjoyable moments on my birthday this year.
The following is something I wrote shortly after my birthday.
God challenges me in many ways.
Death has been the most recent
challenge. It really makes you think, doesn’t it? I mean, here I have
lost my 44 year old uncle to cancer. He has been fighting for 3 years
and one day it just slips out of control and then he is gone.
Then,
in the midst of all of the chaos that is happening, all my heart can
do is worship my Lord and savior and thank him for his complete and
utter Faithfulness! Sometimes God asks you to share things you don’t want to with people who may not understand.

Because of God’s
faithfulness, we can’t deny what He is asking us to do. So we do the absolute last thing we want and allow
God to use the vessel he has created us to be in order to speak his truth. And
it isn’t always pretty. But, God’s love is shown
through it.
Now all that is left to do is keep praying for heart change. He is so faithful.
Ande at my house for pie and ice cream the night of my birthday (after a 5 hour drive back from Ohio)
The giant fortune cookie that was sent to me by my loves Jen and Blair 🙂
And to continue with the theme of “You are Loved” Dave gave me this blanket. (remember the video we made him?)
