From my journal:
April 28, 2012
''Seventeen. That's what I am today.It is just incredible to me how the future becomes the present so
quickly, that growing up is a reality. For the first time in many birthdays, this concept of leaving behind an age, a part of myself, and moving on isn't bothering me.
We all move forward--this time I'm excited. I'm excited to grow and learn and live and to walk along the stepping stones of life, simply in awe that the LORD of the universe is the One directing my path, guiding my steps. Growing older is not a dark threat, it's moving towards the light.''
Thank you, dearest
Kelsey, for taking this beautiful photo!
On Saturday, we had a fun little exploring day with my family--who, may I point out, are my favorite people in the world. I love them to the moon and back.
Then...
We had a little family get-together on Sunday at my grandparents house. It was perfect. Just to be surrounded by people I LOVE was such a blessing from God!
My heart is so full.
Well. Can't sing I am sixteen-going-on-seventeen anymore. I smile as I write that. Because, you want to know why, seventeen? You're already promising to be wonderful.
