So..in just over a month my birthday shall arrive. It has just hit me in the face that I have been alive and breathing for nearly seventeen whole entire years. Yet I say to myself so often, when will my life start? There is no certain age to begin living, you begin when your born. You don't have to be a certain age to go out into the world and change lives. You changed more lives than you will know just by being born. That first breath that was taken was not a mistake and never will be. It had more purpose and destiny than could be imagined.
Don't wait till your an 'adult' to go out and live.. live now. Change lives by smiling, asking a simple how are you. Even laying a hand on someone would have an impact on then and they wouldn't know, God asked us to lay hands, we should do it I think, tis the least we can do right?
Enough diddle daddle. Get with it. Get up. Get moving. Let's make this life worthwhile, not just for us, but for everyone who is around us.
Living for ourselves isn't apart of this plan. God made this for ALL of us. He didn't leave anyone out. Not even the children or teenagers.
We were made to change history. We will change history by starting young. So lets do this thing?!
Who knows what will be happening in another seventeen years from now.
I tried writing on here the other day, but in the end my message got deleted. Well what can I say? Firstly that I am incredibly proud of you. Soon you will be 17, wow where did all those years go. You were born 5 weeks early at just 4 pounds and 5 ounces (so tiny), you had to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks, and needed help breathing with a special tube. Now all these years later I look at you and think with tears in my eyes, what a joy you are.
ReplyDeleteYou say in your blog "when will my life start" well it started nearly 17 years ago when you decided that you wanted to be born into this world earlier than we all planned :) You have done soooooo many things, that some people don't even do in a whole lifetime :) You have travelled to Malaysia, China, Mongolia, Singapore, India, and in about 7 weeks time you will be heading to Vanuatu with a team of young people to build a water tank for the local people in a village. You are studying towards your Certificate of Early Childhood Education, and then onto your Degree for ECE. You are planning to sit TESOL exams so you can travel more and teach english as a second language in foreign countries. You are going to Piano lessons and plan to sit your exams for your Grades, you also want to study possible towards a Bachelor of Music. You are saving to buy your own guitar and wanting to learn that more. You now have a part-time job that you work at on the weekends and some evenings while you study in the day. You lived in India for 3 months. You are a wonderful cook and baker, you have your learners licence and are planning to go for your restricted at some stage.
