Another day of life! Now that's something to praise God about. Tomorrow is Halloween, a holiday I've never celebrated before. I don't regret it either. I've been thinking a lot about my life lately. My family, friends, surroundings, beliefs, decisions. Pretty much everything. It's weird to think that I'm 18 years old. An ADULT!!! I know...no big deal. But it's just made me think that not long from now I will be out in the world, by myself. I'll be making my own choices and life decisions. No longer will my parents be there to tell me yes or no on everything. They are my rock, my foundation of my entire life. They are the ones who pick me up when I fall. The important thing is that I know who I am. Hi, I'm Esther Slaughter.....I am entering the world of adults. Let the battle begin. May the ocean roar, the mountains move, and stars dance, and the demons collide for surely as my name is Esther I will move upon this world. I have run from God for so long. Not necessarily run from him, but definitely not fully run to him. I have been happy making my own decisions and way of life. Lessons I have learned, pain I have felt. I long for him, for only he makes me whole.
