hallelujah

Thank God it's Friday! And I still can't believe i'm

17!

Wow. Seventeen. 6205 days have gone in my life. I'm so grateful for everything that's happened so far and I can't wait to encounter God's future plans that are gonna be awesome no doubt. Already, I feel like so much of my life is complete, but I hope I'll be able to change more of the world every day of my life in this new year.

Throughout the week, my school's "Random Acts of Kindness Everyday Club" collected "snaps," i.e. anonymous compliments written by students to give to other students/teachers (isn't that an awesome idea?). And today, they handed out these little blessings to those addressed students and while I wasn't expecting any, I received what seemed like a pound of treasures (it was really only 6). The fact that that many people thought about me enough to write a note and draw little doodles for me... man I just wanted to cry, and I think I'm breaking down right now. I can't describe my thanks to this world and to God. Man, I love life so much...


Thank you God for always blessing me with opportunities to grow, for making my dreams and not my nightmares come true, for taking care of all my worries, for showing me the way when nothing seemed possible, and for loving me like no one in this world, even when I didn't deserve your love.

Here's some pictures to celebrate today and the gift of giving (I guess in this case, receiving!). :)

Ma bought this for me from Arden B. It was originally $26, but it was on sale for under $5! Thanks mom! :)

My new Coach wallet. :)

Sporting my new H&M plaid scarf and Coach bag. I'm going to cherish this bag for the rest of my life (or at least most of it). :)


Thank God for friends. (my friends aren't all boys, but somehow the pictures ended up that way...)

And tomorrow, some gals and I are hitting the bowling alleys to knock a couple of pins. Maybe a miracle will occur and I'll get some strikes! (I think my highest has been about 70. :P)


(these were my invitations. aren't they awesome? I searched about 5 stores but these just won me over!) :D

I'll post more pictures over the weekend! For now, enjoy your's! :)
