Happy New Year 2014!

Hello Beautiful! 

Yes! You did it! You survived another 365 days and are celebrating the New Year 2014 today! Congrats! You are so beautiful, witty, strong, persistent and faithful. I love you more and more each day that I know you. Your charisma is a magnet and your smile brightens every room you enter. You are humble, kind and thoughtful. Selfless. Wise beyond your years. You exemplify a woman child of God. Thank you for being apart of my life! Thank you for your unwavering friendship and sisterhood. You rock! Yo go girl! I hope 2014 brings you all of the desires of your heart, plus the unfathomed joys only Jesus can provide.

What you accomplished in 2013 still baffles me! 

You graduated from a prestigious nursing school, Hallelujah!! You were class president of your nursing class; you mentored nursing students and became a birth companion, helping many mothers through the process of childbirth; you worked as a research assistant implementing interventions to help young women with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease; you went on a nursing missions trip to provide free healthcare to the indigenous people of Guatemala; you endured the desert heat of the middle east where you worked in the ICU and Emergency room of an awesome hospital; you were invited to Sweden to conduct research at a prestigious university funded by an NIH grant; you learned how to play the cello; you baked cupcakes and traveled hours to help your grand father celebrate his 92nd birthday; you learned how to love and how to let go; and you closed the year with a plethora of family gatherings to celebrate Christmas, birthdays and the New Year! Whew! 2013 was an awesome year for you, but 2014 is going to knock you off your feet!

You have changed. 

You have grown in so many ways. You have so much passion inside of you and now you are ready to be fearless and unleash everything. I saw the way you looked at her book. Your brains cogs began to churn. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, chica! 

You are a gladiator and the captain of your ship. 
You are amazing and you are going places! 
See you at the top, Champion. 
See you at the TOP!

Happy New Year 2014!
