It has been quite awhile and I apologize, but sometimes your life gets ahead of you and you have to try and catch up. So I paused some things and caught up with my life.

| My 17th Birthday |
Wow! What to say? I had an amazing 17th birthday! My family made it so wonderful and special. Mom made a special dinner and dessert that I got to enjoy with my family and my grandma. My parents bought tickets to the TobyMac concert I had been dying to go to, but couldn't afford. So after dinner Jordan, Zach and I headed to Canada for the TobyMac concert. Yea, I love TobyMac and all, but this was special to me. I went to the same concert last year and it was a significant moment in my life. At that time I had been going through a difficult year and I thought I'd never get back to where I was before. I had tried so hard and failed time and time again. It was at the concert last year when TobyMac was talking and he said, "all you have to do is turn around and God will meet you right where you are." Wow, that's all I could think. It was right then that I turned around and God met me with open arms. It wasn't me trying to get back and that's what I had failed to realize. God was waiting for me to surrender myself and acknowledge that it was only through Him that I could find my strength. He is my strength. God used that concert and TobyMac to bring that simple reminder to me. So, that was my birthday I went to a wonderful concert where I got to worship God and be reminded of God's grace towards me. It is moments like these that I live for. Where I understand my total helplessness and embrace God's Love.
