Today is a big day...

I woke up early this morning to the first day of the last year of my 20's. And while this is a big event in itself, there is so much more that comes the rest of this day than just a big birthday.

At 2:45pm today, I will stand before a person that I have never met, doesn't know me from Adam, and will hold a great decision for my life in their hands.

I will share with them where my heart, soul and mind has been for the last two months until the wee hours of the morning where the only peace and quiet can be found.

I will lead them through an outline that will uncover the depths of my soul and my writing.

I will do my best to have an awesome hair day {winks} and an outfit that has all the right colors, accessories and no wrinkles.

And more importantly, I will pray that the Holy Spirit will take over this broken down Jesus girl in a way that I could never imagine.

It's a big day.

There are lot's of emotions. Lot's of excitement. Lot's of nerves.

My heart is filled will much as I write this today. There have been some things that have happened this week that have shown me that the enemy is at work in my life like never before. There are people that I have loved, respected and prayed sincerely for that have betrayed me. And for what? I do not know.

But I want these people to know that I love them. Just as Christ loves them. And I forgive whether an apology is ever given or not.

Because that's what my Lord would do.

And I think that God's hands allowed all of this to happen this week so that when I stand before these publisher's this weekend, the message that He has given me, "The Unlikely Prom Queen: God's encouragement, stories and passion for the Unlikely Candidates" has come to full circle in my life.

Because never has there been a more unlikely girl, than this one sitting right here.

So it is with great hope, peace and the grace of God that I move foreword on this day. I hope I have awesome news to bring you on Monday. But I hope more than anything.....I hope that I please my God today through all of my efforts. I hope that when He's sitting upon his mighty throne gazing into that little room where I will stand today, that He will point His finger at me and say, "That's my girl."

{tears}

I love you all and I pray God's blessings upon you today. If you are a facebook friend I will be updating throughout the weekend of what God's doing.

Sweet blessings friends....sweet blessings.
