Hey Y’all!!
Dude guys it’s my birthday. I have lived one-fifth of the average American lifespan. (I had to look it up. I’m not all that smart. 😉 ) In a way, it’s kinda scary, but in another way, it’s actually really cool. I love that kind of stuff. That means I have, give or take, four-fifths of my life left to impact the world around me. Gotta make it count, y’all.
It’s hit me recently how much I can impact the world around me. I’ve got a good video about this. Blimey Cow, y’all. Nothing but the best. 🙂 My experiences lately have made me come to grips with what I want to be saying with my life. Do I want to be that one person who everyone is like “ew her”? Or do I want to be the one who everyone is sad to miss hanging out with because there’s an undeniable godly glow always drifting around her? I think I’d rather be the last one.
Lately, I’ve been realizing that I impact my world more than I think. We’re going to be moving further South in June and my friends are devastated. I asked my mom about this. What she said stuck to me and I hope and pray I’ll never forget it.
“Maddy, the reason why these girls are so upset with you moving is that there is Jesus spilling out of you. You are leaking Jesus on your friends. You’ve always been there to talk with them, listen to them, and comfort them. They have relationships with Jesus too, but you are actively sharing your Light with them every time you see them.”
Dang.
Just wow. Y’all, if that don’t make you wanna go share Jesus, something is wrong with you 😉
So WHO WANTS TO COME SPREAD JESUS SPARKLE AROUND LIKE CREAM CHEESE?
(you can quote me on that 😀 )
Anyways, I wrote a poem about this because… that’s just what I do… etc. This came out of me kinda worrying about my future (I’m sure none of you know that feeling 🙂 ) because I’m 15 now so wow aah what’s happening.
It’s kind of funny how slowly things move
Only to speed up right when you think you’re comfortable



Now go forth, mis amigos and amigas, and smile. Your day is just beginning. Make the best of it. Don’t procrastinate. Work hard. Make me proud. 🙂
Love you all,
Madeleine
P.S. pardon the formatting on the last part. It’s being stupid and I don’t know why.

Maddy, you will find that as you grow older, time speeds up faster and faster. The baby picture at the top of your entry today is exactly the way I remember you yesterday. Or at least it seems like yesterday. I am so proud of the girl you are becoming. Happy birthday, sweet girl!
