(UPDATED AS OF JULY 22)

I was born! (I'm posting this at the precise time I was born-1:13pm) That's right seventeen. Doesn't seem real to me.  You know when people ask you does (your new age) feel different (then you previous age)? Most of the time I say "No, I feel the same as always". This year I cannot say such a thing. Boy, does it feel different! This time last year I was a new follower in Christ even though I had given my life to Him at a very young I didn't ever feel that "big change" people always say God brings. Boy did I feel it! I was at a Christian concert with my 2 best friends, and I had been struggling with a lot spirtually, I was so broken feeling, feeling like a failure. The truth was I was trying to lead my own life not really caring what God thought about my life. God really spoke to me over that weekend and I recommitted my life to Him. Now I let Him lead me in all things, not that I'm perfect in letting Him, because some areas I'm having a hard time trusting that He is going to help me and not lead me astray even though I trust Him with my whole heart. That day I felt the BIG body slam of God that people always say you feel, it was SO amazing! So I must tell you the truth I've NEVER missed an age but I'm going to miss sixteen, though I whole-heartly welcome seventeen. I've just gotten back from a luncheon with Gram and Poppy at Olive Garden, I'd never been there and it was SO GOOD! They got me a James Avery charm for my bracelet, a beautiful butterfly. My mom told me that butterflies symbolise womens libe. I am NOT a supporter of Womens libe. Gram gave me a new reason, the reason she and Poppy got it for me. Butterflies symbolise transition, and change. She said that since I am at the age between womanhood and girlhood, that this butterfly showed that change happening now. I love that, that statement ment a lot to me. I'm sorry I've no pictures to put up but hopefully after our internet is back up I'll do a fuller birthday post with pics. Tonight Drew, and Gram (Poppy is working, he took off the wrong day ) will be coming over for a small party with cake, so I'm going to be going home to prepare for that now. Have a blessed day, I hope you all are doing well, I've really missed reading all your posts my friends!

Here is the beautiful charm they bought me:
