Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Rain

There's a storm inside of me: like a hurricane with 90mph winds pressing against my heart--the center of emotion.  It's a beautiful struggle.  A lot of it comes from not knowing what's going to happen in the next couple years.

I have been alive for 20 years.  I'm 20 years old.  It sounds like such a long time, doesn't it?  My life has been so beautiful.  I look back on it and I realize just how blessed I was and am.  I have amazing parents who love, encourage, and support me; two sisters whom I love with ever fiber of my being; amazing grandparents who love me more than I understand; friends that make me a better person and love me for who I am; mistakes to learn and grow from; life experiences that have contributed to my personal views; remnants of innocence (that I'm clutching onto for dear life); eyes to see; ears to hear; a mouth to speak; a brain to learn; a mind to contemplate; and a heart to love.  Not to mention that I may have just had the most amazingly perfect childhood.  To think that God gave all of that to me--and he is still blessing me every day!  My life is wonderful.

I honestly cannot wait to see what he does in the future.  It's going to be so good.  There's something happening in me.  There's a change occuring.  I'm being transformed by his love. 

God is so good, right?
