Well, on Tuesday I am officially sixteen. At my birthday last year my mom said that we needed to do something big for my sixteenth and that is when she suggested that we do a ball. I was hesitant at first, I didn't think anyone would do it. But I liked the idea a lot and decided to do it. I am so glad I did. Friday night was one of the best nights ever.
I had so many friends that came. I was really blessed by them. We had dance lessons, tons of food. My dear friend Abby Michelsen and her family made me cupcakes and Mom created a beautiful birthday cake.
The whole night was kind of dreamy. One of those dreams you know your going to wake up at, but you don't really want too. As I sat after all my dear friends had left. I smiled. I am grateful that God put everyone of them in my life. Times are changing and we are growing up. We are moving on to the next stage in life. God has exciting plans for all of us.
Some face graduation this coming year, some are packing up for college, others are finishing up middle school and going on to high school. Each stage in life is different and we need to learn how to make the most of everyone. As one of my friends told me "16 is half way to 32." Another friend told me I no longer get 365 days a year, now that I am 16 I get 100 days a year to accomplish everything.
Today's is not a long post just some thoughts and if you think about it pray for me and my friends as we try to have wisdom in the steps we are making towards adult hood. Life is amazing I don't want to miss out.
