I am So Proud

"hey, my names chelsey,i'm 15 years young ;
but i don't live my life like abuncha other teenagers,
i don't party, drink, smoke or anything of that kind.
you may think "i'm boring." or "no fun."
but it truthfully doesn't bother me,
i've got something much better to live for than parties,
i have my savior, jesus christ ..he died for me so i'ma live for him."

I read this blurp this morning on my dear friend's facebook profile and started crying.
Why? Because I'm so stinkin' proud of this girl. I'm proud of her because she is a
teenager and she chooses Jesus day after day. I'm proud of her because she keeps it real
and simple. And I brag about her not because she is perfect but because she is up front and
honest. I am so proud to know her...because she is a BRIGHT light in a dark world
and she's not afraid to show it. Instead she chooses to rise above her circumstances and
doesn't worry about what the others think...she just sees Jesus and what He has done for her.

Chelsey, my dear...I love you oh so much...and I can't wait to HUG your neck ;)
God is so good to have given us the gift of YOU!

XOXOXOXOXOX

When is the last time I did that? When is the last time I spent hours with my Lord? Thanks for the reminder, friend. Enjoy your nap today!

you made me cry, but a good cry.
i've seriously never had so much
support as a christian, and it's the most amazing thing i could ask for, God has been soo good to bring you & your family into my life, words can't even begin to express how thankful i am to have you, and all of your family & of course Isaac in my life.. but i'ma go before i get to crying again.
