Words from a birthday girl… Its been 17 years since iv been here, and 5 since I was actually living. The moment I realized THIS life was not my own I made a decision that would change the course of my life forever. People think you believe in Jesus and it fixes all of your problems and its a smooth ride. When that could not be further from the truth. Truth? It hasnt been easy one step of the way…. But I wouldnt change or take back the promise I made to him. He did it all for me. So I will strive to do the same. And the small trials I have faced, didnt break me. They MADE me exactly who I was supposed to be. :) But my final advice? Never give up on love. Even when it hurts to fight for it. Always choose love.
