To celebrate my birthday, I invited my friends for a time of hanging out, eating, and skating. I'm not big on skating, but really, what else is there to do when your birthday is in the middle of winter? Curling? Anyways, it turned out to be a fun day. I had lots of fun skating with my friends (and boyfriend!) and got some great gifts - candles, socks, and best of all, journals. If you couldn't already tell, I am very big on writing. I've been journaling every day for almost a year now!
This year is definately going to be a scary one. With the end of high school looming, a new chapter will shortly begin - University. My mom and I got into a huge argument today about where I want to go. She wants me to go somewhere nearby, preferably a big name secular University, whereas I've been considering a Christian one all the way out in Virginia. When I suggested my idea, she completely shot it down, flat out prohibiting me from applying there. What a conundrum I'm in now!
Nevertheless, I'm trusting God with this whole messy situation. It's in His hands, and He knows what He is doing...I just have to believe! I know that when I am 80 and time is flying faster than ever, I'll look back and be amazed at God's hand in my life and thank Him for His wisdom and direction!
P.S. Here's a few photos from my party:

Happy Birthday!! What a great party. That is the best thing you can do, trust God. It is wonderful to be 17 and trust God. Love and Best wishes. Oh, Merry Christmas!!
Happy Birthday. Glad you had a nice party. My girls all love to ice skate and two of them went tonight.
It's hard to not agree with your mother. Growing up isn't easy. College is such a huge decision and affects the rest of your life. Keep praying for guidance.
God bless.
Happy birthday?
You're that young? Wow. ... You have such incredible wisdom. I'd have guessed you much older. I'm excited to see how God uses you in the years ahead.
