Today, I celebrate my 23rd birthday. Thank you Lord God for the gift of life, for all the strength, hope and faith that You unceasingly give to me. I know this life wasn't a perfect one but Your love and grace oh Lord, are more than enough to fill in what is lacking in me. Thank you for giving me a loving mom, a caring nanny and a protective brother. Thank you for giving me the real friends and the man who truly loves me despite my imperfection. I couldn't ask for more, because at 23, I am truly blessed beyond words.
