I am officially 22 years old.  Wow.. *Checks for any gray hairs* LOL.  As I sit back and reflect on my life, I can honestly say there has been so much growth and maturity I've seen within myself.  I still have a long way to go, but I am confident that as long as I keep God first in my life, he will lead, wreck, protect, guide, and heal me from all things. So what makes this birthday different from others?  Well, I declare "Chapter XXII" is the beginning of me living a life full of PURPOSE.  That means:  I know WHO God says I am, WHAT God has CALLED me to do, and I am stepping out on FAITH because I refuse to let FEAR hold me back from my DESTINY!!!
