Starlit Fairytales

Hey bloggers.

Another late night post.

It's been a long week here, and I apologize to anyone who reads daily, but with my current schedule, it gets pretty hard to post every day.

Today, one year ago, on 6.15.14, I was baptized with both of my sisters, and my best friend Alyssa. I was baptized when I was very young, at the first church I attended, but I don't really remember it, and, at the time, I didn't understand exactly what being a Christian meant.

But when I moved in the summer before my eighth grade year, the youth pastor at my new church did a very good job at explaining to me what the gospel was. It wasn't that there hadn't been people like that in the past, but at this age, when I was trying to figure out who I was, the words began to make sense. I began to understand the importance of Jesus's death, and what Love that really was.

And a few years ago, when my current church formed, I saw that Love branching out in all the people that gathered there. We built a baptismal last summer, and the four of us were the first to get baptized. It was so special that I got to baptized with three of my closest friends, and God knew what He was doing that day.

Since then, I've still had troubles....I've still been anxious, persecuted, confused, broken...but, especially in this first year of college, and figuring out who I am as an adult, I've seen firsthand just how important it is that God is number one in my life. He is all that I have to cling to, and all that I could ever need.

And so, on this 6.15.15, I want to take a moment to praise for God's mercy and grace, giving eternal life and forgiveness to a lowly sinner like me. He is great.

As a close to this post, I want to make a sort of announcement. The rest of my summer is going to be fairly busy with work, as well as prepping for the upcoming school year, and as much as I love writing this, I just don't know that I will consistently have the time.

So, this is a farewell post of sorts. I've have made my goal of writing everyday for the past three months or so, and let me say bloggers, it has been WONDERFUL. Thank you to everyone who has read any of posts, and special thanks to those who kept coming back. I intend to write at least once a week, from here on out, but for the day to day, this may be goodbye.

I love you guys so much, and thanks for lending an ear. It means more than you know, my Starlit Fairytales.
