I AM 18

its my 18th birthday!!
is it weird that the most exciting part about turning 18 for me is being able to sign my own doctors papers? oh well

This week has been full of ups and downs, trials mixed with joys.


So many joyful things have happened, but I've come to expect that when happy things happen, the devils gonna try his best to ruin it for you. And thats exactly what he does.

The beginning of the week started with me dreading my birthday almost, this isn't how I wanted to be when I turned 18.

I wanted to be away at college, healthy, having a great time.

But I've been living at home and sick.


This broke me apart.

Its now been 5 years since my health first went downhill. Back then I had hopes that I would be better by now.


With the help of some people, I told that thought to go away.

Im exactly where Im supposed to be right now, and Im exactly where God needs me to be.


I can feel that great things are going to happen and with Gods help I can do anything.



So this is my reminder:

Psalm 91

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
    will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
    he is my God, and I trust him.
For he will rescue you from every trap
    and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers.
    He will shelter you with his wings.
    His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
    nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
    nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side,
    though ten thousand are dying around you,
    these evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes,
    and see how the wicked are punished.
If you make the Lord your refuge,
    if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 no evil will conquer you;
    no plague will come near your home.
11 For he will order his angels
    to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands
    so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras;
    you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
    I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
    I will be with them in trouble.
    I will rescue and honor them.
16 I will reward them with a long life
    and give them my salvation.”





Everything I need in one place. He knows me.
