Seventeen

I’ve just entered a new chapter in my life. I’m no longer sweet sixteen, I’m now seventeen. Wow… I’m seventeen.

It feels so different yet it’s still the same me.

I feel like God is going to give me an incredible year. Me with him by my side the whole way. After last night’s performance (um I sang even though I lost my voice… need I say more?) I think I am pretty much up for anything. I have no idea how God plans this stuff out or how I feel this peace even though everything went wrong. All I know is that with God, I made it and I am making it. And for now, that’s all I can ask for.

Are you making it with God by your side? Or are you stumbling around in the dark trying to find your way on your own? He’s waiting for you!

Gargle gargle gargle… soundtrack of my day.

Bedadine/ iodine… the taste of my day.

Hooray for the sore throat. A singer’s worst nightmare on the eve of their performance.

According to my Society & Culture textbook, your hairstyle says a lot about you.

Today I think my hair told people, I was sick and spent the morning in bed, keep your distance.

My overly thick, ridiculously long mane of hair can easily turn against me, transforming me into “Cousin It”…or so I’m told.

Eh, Perhaps I’m in denial. I am going to go iron the dress I WILL be wearing at the performance tomorrow.

*Puppy-dog eyes* your prayers would be greatly appreciated!
