It was not nearly as dull as it seems. 2008 will be remembered as one of the most important years of my life. I felt impassable anger, heartache, indescribable happiness, and the love of God's hand stirring the shallow waters of my life.

I always used to wonder why adults dread birthdays so much. It seemed absurd that any human would want to be young again. Now I find myself at the age of twenty and desperately holding onto to every minute I'm given. I'd like to think that I am still young, and in some aspects, I know I am. But life is certainly passing me by much more quickly than I had planned. If I had the choice, I would start the whole thing over again, right from the beginning.

Yet, at the same time, there is a quiet calmness inside me that says I'm where I need to be. In the end, I wouldn't change where I am at for anything. This year I will be getting married and possibly moving away from my family. The new life I will be starting with Casey is full of unknowns and packed with uncertainty. It is a step I cannot wait to take.


The Lord is good.
