{Day 237}

June 5, 2012

So today I officially enter my mid twenties… Sounds so old when I say that. 24. I know that it actually isn’t but for some reason I never imagined myself at this age so it feels odd. And not that I look my age. Some how I seem to always look 16… This last year has been a roller coaster ride and I have no idea how this coming year is going to top the last one but I’m excited to see what God will do in me and through me. I’d like to say that I have beautiful, contemplative thoughts on this day but in reality I don’t. I’m just happy to be alive. Happy that I get to spend my life with and for Jesus. Thankful for so many gifts that Jesus has given me.

For my birthday I have a request…would you be willing to give 24 dollars to my kids in India? That would be the best present I could ever ask for. Asking for things isn’t something I do (or enjoy) but when it comes to my kids I have no hesitations. I love them and I would like nothing better than to see them doing well and being provided for. Thanks!

Update!!!! $58,491.54 😀 How close can we get to the goal today?!

Happy Birthday my sweet niece. I hope you have a lovely day and the year ahead will be even more exciting than the last one! Love, Aunt Margo
P.S. When you are older you will appreciate looking younger than your age.
