One Whole Year

So, as you may know, I'll be seventeen in ten days. To everyone else it's just another day, another birthday. But to me, it marks the day I started my life over completely. If you go to the very first post on this blog, you'll read about my whole testimony. For a long time, years really, I planned on suicide. When I was young I planned it so on my sixteenth birthday I would kill myself and just end it. But thanks to God's divine intervention, I didn't.
So in ten days, it'll be a whole year since I started my life over. It's so huge to me.
I just want to take this time to say thank you. To everyone.
On another note, A couple weeks ago I went to this girls group thing where we really connect. I talked to the group leader, I knew I would share my testimony sometime, but I didn't know when. And she said "How does April 13th sound?" I pretty much got teary eyed, and said "Danielle, Danielle that's my birthday". She had no idea it was. I think that's pretty cool. So on my birthday I'll be sharing my story to a big group of people, just like I've always wanted. I hope my story impacts someone the way my friends story impacted me!
I really hope I can be that person to change someone else's life. When I'm old and wrinkled with tons of smile lines and have lived a happy life, I want to be remembered as the person who left a positive impact on others.

Yeah :). That's what I want.
