Today is my birthday. I just got back from a 10 day vacation with a couple of friends, I will celebrate tonight with another friend and decided to spend the day with God, resting. What a great decision it was! I spent the day reflecting on my life and what God has done in it, especially this past month. He is so unbelievably amazing! I am so overwhelmed with joy at how He loves me and the ways that He shows it! I have an amazing life and have become an amazing woman of God. It's hard to picture the person I used to be, for I am so engulfed in who I am now. I know that were it not for God I would never have become even an inkling of the person that I am now. I love who I am, I love the people in my life, I love the ministry He has given me, I love that I am in Africa and live in Cape Town and I love how much closer I am to the God of my life - Jesus Christ. I love that I am more capable of love and to receive love and how amazing this feels! I feel loved; every part of my body is consumed with this love that I feel. Thank you Jesus and thank you all for loving me so much that you saw the best in me, even when I couldn't see it myself. I look forward to this next year and all that God is going to do in my life. Thank you Jesus for your many blessings. I am who I am because of You!
