wondering: what my birthday dinner will be
Dear fifteen,
I must say, you were a very good year. And I will most certainly miss you! You were quite possibly the best year I've ever lived. 'Course, I don't know sixteen all that well yet, so I shouldn't be picking favorites. *wink wink*
I met new lifelong friends, fell in love, and grew up so much with you! I've become closer to God, and am close to figuring out His will for my life. I learned a lot about myself with you, fifteen. We had some good times together, eh? WorldViews, getting my permit, becoming a pen-pal.....you were fun to be around.
There were some rough times as well, but God got us through it. Now, however....it's time to bid you farewell. I'll never forget you, fifteen.
love always,
me
Dear sixteen,
I pray you are sweet, as the cliche goes. So far, roughly twelve hours into our friendship, things are going well! It will take some adjustment on my part. After all, you're kind of old! "Big" girls are sixteen, don't ya know. *shakes head* Not sure I'm ready to feel this old.
I plan on doing some crazy things with you, so I hope you're prepared!! Getting my license, playing volleyball, mission trips, a {real} job----I've got lots of things for us to do! Some of them are going to be scary, like getting a job. But God did not give me a spirit of fear; He gave me a spirit of hope and faith. Nothing is impossible with Him. Nothing.
hello again, sixteen. May you be all I wish for, and more.
love always,
me

To Lily's friends,
Lily's mom and I are very thankful you are enjoying "Snatched from the Wind." We can tell you first-hand that while she brings you inspiration, all of you have done the same for Lily. We are all so blessed that the Lord has used this blog to share his Word among so many. May the Lord continue to bless all of you, and thank you for sharing your love of Jesus Christ with our daughter.
