birthday girl

i am officially 20 years old

and i think i had the best birthday i've ever had

i am truly blessed

i got to wake up and spend the first part of my day with my Saviour and Lord.

He painted me a beautiful morning sunrise

His sun was shining brightly all day .

Just as the rays of sun finally broke through the clouds of many grey days,

so I felt his love shine on me and warm my spirit and soul.

i went on a beautiful walk outside with the man who is courting me,

and what a blessing he is

I went out for an awesome dinner with my family and boyfriend

then enjoyed cheesecake at home with them after

my birthday was completed at a pub in calgary with awesome friends

30 people from church came to spend time with me and celebrate my birthday

i'm so blessed and feel so loved.

i can't thank my God enough for his daily blessings, grace, and joy.

i also thank him for each and every person who is in my life

for the things i've learnt from their friendship.

and for knowing that I am never alone.

"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."

Psalm 100
