  • Next week, I turn 24.  Hooray!  Twenty-four.  I love birthdays.  I still get excited about them like I did when I was ten.  Except now the thrill flows through me differently.  I'm excited by this marker of another year gone by.  I get to think and thank the Lord for all the wonders of the past year.  And I also get to pray forward to all the great things I know will come.  I love being a Christian!  It means only good things.

    In honor of my birthday, I bought my mom a bouquet of flowers and said to her, "Thanks, Mom."  Moms get a huge amount of credit for making us who we are today.  I'm so grateful that God gave me one - who is still by my side today.  Yay, Mom. =)
