i'm 'publicly' 7 yrs old today. can i get a witness?


i was surprised to see that, in the note my aunt wrote to me in the bible she gave me, she thought i was 15. i was actually fourteen and wouldn't turn fifteen for several months. but with my hair wet, i was grateful that i was surrounded by school friends and family who had come out to my church just for me today.
"looking back".... i'm not "looking back". i'm remembering, and looking now.
for 7 years God has not left me, and has actually stepped in and become so much more of my life despite my straying and failure. He had always been there before, while i climbed trees with my brother in cyprus, when i moved houses in turkey even before then. He was with me when i laid oranges around me in a circle as a baby and He was with me when my eyes were sealed and i was still attached to my mother.
after i emerged from the water, the testing began. [or i just started to notice them.] they come on strong and with frightening force. the changes and the struggles all hounded me but i tell you, God was there. i knew it then and i know it now.
my hopes are that i will be a good servant for Him, and this hope i proclaim is in Him.
He's brought me through so much, and my story is mine. i am no more than dust but i am more than blessed. the highs and lows are extreme. but still He paints the sky everyday and lights up the night every night for me.
i won't say that i'm looking forward to the trials ahead, but i wholeheartedly can't wait to see what my Father is going to teach me through it all.
