WOW, I look back and I'm amazed at all things God has done for me and allowed me to experience. I've lost and gain, feel hurt and pain, been through ups and downs, but God remained by my side even during those times when I wasn't serving Him like I should have been. Now that I know better, I strive everyday to please God and don't stray away. Sometimes it's not as easy as I'd like it to be, but He provides, empowers, encourages, and leads me every day, so i don't grow weary in effort of doing good.
I praise God for blessing me to see my 26 bday, that sadly many others esp in this city (Milwaukee) don't get to live to see. Although I came close to losing my life, He protected me and for that I'm very thankful. I'm praying for more years to come and that with each one I live it according to God's will, to the fullest, and be more mature than the last. I don't only want to be a better person/woman, but a better servant to the Lord as time goes on.
I'm happy to have got married, own a car, go to college and graduate, start my own freelance business, have a job in my career field, and so many other things great and small, that would not have been possible without that mercy, grace, and blessings from God.
The first 25 years of my life have been...amazing, interesting, and overall a blessing! I won't complain, because everything I've been through has taught me something and made me who I am right now.
Thanks again Lord for another birthday!
