My 20th birthday and all that it entails

so, 20 years old already... my my... i would have never thought i'd grow this old... i hoped to stay on the last teen years forever.. but i guess that growing up has its good things, it's changes, its responsabilities, you mature more in many aspects, and now i can say that i'm really looking forward to this new year, to learn all the lessons that the Lord may want to teach me, to be faithful to him, to grow closer to him every day, not just a bit, but a lot so that when this year goes by i can be proud to say, i've become better, better said, i can thank Him for having helped me to become better, for Lord knows that i in myself are nothing... i can never accomplish anything good if it's not because of Him, so yeah, if by the end of the year i'm better, then i'll be proud to say, all glory to Him! :D i really want to become better so that i can become more useful to Him and help as many as i can by showing them the Lord's love, and be not just a collaborator of Jesus, but an extension of his very body :) be part of Him and let Him move in me, put on His mind so that everything i do is guided by Him, and thus bear great fruit :)

the year has been a good one, i can't complain, i've gotten to travel more than any other time in my life, and i've travelled more than anyone i know, for wich i am really really thankful to the Lord, i have gotten to know some realy wonderful people wich i miss inmensely, and also had the chance to meet good old friends with wich i've shared many good things in the years that i've had the honour to partake of their friendship. i really am happy to know all of you! you are like a gift sent from heaven for me :) and i really cherish your friendship, yes, each and everyone of you!

now, let's go on to my birthday, we actually celebrated it the day before with my brother and his wife, just the 6 of us, and later on i got other presents, and some others were given to me before, on christmas, here is the account of what i got :D



this is an awesome super cool miniature electric guitar, no it doesn't work, it's just for decoration, but i was soooo happy when i saw it! i got it from my brother Daniel :D i'll take it wherever i go to, and i hope to get a real one sometime soon this year.



this is a very groovy bag that i got from my sister Ana, i love it! it's made out of recycled tire inner tubes, and the hold is actual safety belt! :D it even smells like tires :P a perfect gift for a car lover like me ;)


this is a bracelet that i got from my other sister Jenny, aint it cute? it's silver :D i wear it now all the time.


and to end, this is a very special present that i got from my sis Ely, the very first drawing of me that i've ever got! TX Ely for all your work!! ILY! it looks great :D
