So as you know, yesterday was my birthday. It was amazing! I go to go to lunch with my youth pastor, go sing a little at vocal lessons, went to starbucks with a friend, got a snowcone with my sister, played volleyball with some people from church, and ended it with spending the night at the Meadow's! It was a very memorable birthday, and for not having anything "planned", turned out very well.
As I was sitting here thinking about how all of this fell into place perfectly, (which was VERY weird haha), I realized how much the Lord has blessed me! He has given me a great support group, and a lot of people around me to lift me up or teach/mentor me. It's so awesome to see His works, and I really did yesterday.
If I would have planned something for my birthday, trust me, all would fail and it would have been miserable! Haha. But the way things worked out, the Lord was in control. For instance, Ketric and I had been trying for two or three weeks to get together, and for one reason or another, couldn't. Randomly he decided to hang out yesterday, and it was awesome. I guess it gave me the extra boost spiritually that I needed at this point.
At vocal camp, my friend and I were fighting over some retarded drama, and it was a huge mess. But yesterday, we put it all aside and went to starbucks and it rocked! The enemy didn't win that little battle, that's for sure.
All in all, the whole day just rocked, and the people I got to spend it with like I said, really made me feel blessed. Even though they sound like small things, it really meant a lot just to know someone was thinking about me ;]. I even got a "Happy Birthday" from the ENTIRE team on facebook! ;]. Obviously I was important to them that day. Lol. well anyways, thanks everyone for making the day rock! You all are amazing!
Now, what blessings has the Lord revealed to you lately that you're thankful for?

A special day for a special guy!!
I just want to say that I'm thankful for my best friend Jordan! I could never have gotten through life without her. She was put in my life for a reason, and I’m glad we’ve faced the odds together. I know I probably haven’t told her that near enough, but that needs to change. We need to live for today because we don’t know how long we have on earth, and we need to make the most of it by not taking anyone or anything for granted. I love her so much and I just want to thank God for giving me the best friend I could ever have! I know that God was looking out for me when He put her in my life. She is one of the many blessings I have received because of Him! Thank you God!
