Written last week: Today is May 11th- my birthday! I got to school today and my friends kicked me out of the hallway for like half an hour! Then Duri made me close my eyes and showed me my locker. Wow! So creative- 17 pink bows :) Throughout the day, my locker became SUPER stuffed! My friends are so sweet! I can't believe how much they spoiled me...but it's ok, I don't mind! :) Thank you guys SO much!
Back to the future...
I've been thinking a lot about the year ahead. There are so many decisions I have to make, so many challenges to get through, opportunities to grow, experiences to learn from. I was thinking about how glad I am that I have God- sometimes I really take Him for granted. But how cool is it that whenever, wherever I need Him, I can talk to Him. I mean, yeah I'm a little scared about the next year- but I can get through it with God, you know? I know God has a plan for me.
I remember when we were on the plane coming back from the missions trip and I was really upset. I so wanted to stay in Senegal! Mrs. Smith was in the seat across the aisle from me and she turned to me and said, "God put you here in Toronto for a reason." That really stuck. Who am I to complain about where I am and what situation God has put me in? This year at PCA has taught me so much, and I have been able to reach out to people. And next year is going to be even better! And if I had had MY way, none of that would have happened.
So, just a reminder to all of us that God is in control,and all this is part of His plan. I hope my 17th year will be a year full of great times with you guys and with God!
