Wow, I'm practically speechless. The amount of love and kind words today have been overwhelmingly great in number. So much more than I could ever ask for or begin to imagine. I count myself blessed. So very blessed. I have the most amazing friends and family, and I cannot help but love them all oh so much! You all know who you are - thanks a bunch! You guys are fabulous/splendid/superb/etc. :)
I have no idea what this next year will bring or what the age of 22 will be like, but I'm optimistic. So here's to being one year older and hopefully one year wiser, but more importantly, here's to celebrating another year of God working in me and through me.
Cheers! :D
Heavy Heart
I've come to realize that one should appreciate hardship in one's life. Trials, consequences and/or small testings of faith are what forge a stronger and deeper relationship with the Almighty God.
It's the moments where I endured and conquered something that produced much fruit. It's the moments that I fought many tears that cleansed my soul. It's the moments that I waged war with the devil that I found freedom. It's the moments where I wrestled with God that produced a stronger foundation of knowledge and faith.
While in the heat of the those hardships, all I wanted was to be done and over it all, but looking back, it's those moments that are most precious and valuable. Yes, I enjoyed the joyful moments of life and the restful moments of life, but I also really enjoyed seeing growth come about and knowing that God has been building a stronger Christian and a more faithful servant.

A 21yr. Old's Playlist
My roommate and I are huge music junkies. I've already lost count of how many gigs we've been to this year and how many new bands we have discovered. This shared phenomenon has created endless memories and amazing dynamics for the T&R Flat (Tif and I's humble abode). In our obsession, Tiffany and I like to put together countless mix tapes/CDs and come up with soundtracks for our current season of life, thus the purpose of this post.
My days of being 21yrs. old are dwindling down, so in an attempt to preserve the lovely moments and memories of this past year, I decided to compile a playlist of music that represents my most listened to, favorites, impressionable songs, etc.. Some are recurring oldies of mine, but most of them are new.
