Birthdays.

17 years of life has passed by like a blink of an eye. 
So 17 years ago, I was born TODAY. 


I can't even believe it myself. I had nothing planned for today. No one was home to celebrate with me, except my little brother. To be honest I thought that it was going to be the worst birthday date ever. I wasted half my day by sleeping in and after that I went outside to tan and play ball.
As time passed by, I just sat at home doing nothing and all of a sudden the doorbell rang I already knew that one of best friends were going to come and visit me but she told me to grab my shoes and come outside. So i do what she says and all of a sudden 4 of my friends walk onto my driveway holding a cake. I was very surprised and how well they pulled it off because I never suspected a thing. As we were eating cake I realized how blessed I was with these 5 friends. God has put them in my life for a reason. They baked this cake all day and mission-ed all the way to my house just to celebrate my special day. 


I realized that I should always be thankful for my friends, family, peers, etc. because God has placed each and every one of them in your life for a reason. He created a purpose, good or bad, for them to help and encourage us to become stronger Christians. 


Philippians 1:3
"I thank my God every time I remember you."
