Birthdays

With my birthday approaching on the 31st, it always brings back memories. Over the last few years of my birthday celebrations I've had some interesting ones. A few of them have come with some trials that made them huge milestones in my life. Here is a quick over view...
15th - Just got out of the hospital after recovering from an infection that kept me there for 22 days.
16th - My youth pastor resigned from his position without an explanation. Just left! Lots of hurt involved but I would say that was a huge step in my walk with the Lord. Discovered my life verse, Proverbs 3:5,6.
17th - Grounded for the first time because I skipped a couple classes in school :)
20th - Got a job interview here in Billings. The beginning of my adventures in Billings. The interview went great and I got the job as a nanny.
21st - I was facing some great heartships with a relationship. Trying my best to make the right choices before things got to difficult. Spent some time at a retreat with wonderful Godly Brothers and Sisteres.

And now it's the present time. On monday I will be turning 22 and once again facing some heartships with a relationship. Having to deal with the consequences of my choices. I guess you could say that I'm really growing in my relationshp with the Lord. I've learned so much this last year, the Lord has taught me things I never thought I would face. As much heartache I've experienced in the last year I know my heart will one day be healed. It may have scares but those are proof of my testimony. I must remain faithful and have bravery in the face of my fears. My life verse has been showing up. And God has been showing me some great pieces of scripture to help shape me and teach me (2 Corinthians 12:9)
