Today is my birthday. My first birthday spent outside of NY, or outside of the USA for that matter. And you know what? I feel so blessed.
The earliest birthday party of mine that I can remember is when I turned 6 years old. I had my two best friends over and we did girly things and I got Barbie outfits as a gift. If you had told me then that in 18 years I would be a missionary in Peru, I would not have known what you were talking about. I did not even know what Peru was. But here I am, and I think that this will be a birthday that I remember for a long time.
Thank you God for this day. Thank you for loving me and bringing me here. You are wonderful beyond description!
