11/23

Today is my birthday! 

I love birthdays, laughing, games, gatherings, cake; everything associated with birthdays.

I have always celebrated my birthday as if it were my last or a national holiday.

If you knew me when, you'd truly understand...

This year was different than any other:

-I stayed up til just before midnight to pray my birthday in.

-I woke up to wonderful texts from framily.

-I went to work (I usually take my birthday off no matter what).

-I was joyful and giddy.

-I'm on my couch with my dog and I'm in sweats. 

-I will be up praying at midnight tonight.

To the average person, my celebration would be labeled BASIC.

*shrugs*

I didn't do anything out of the norm, nor anything "memorable", but it's been amazing.

It may not seem glamorous, but it is special to me.

Simply knowing that I am redeemed, loved, respected, and wanted is EVERYTHING!

Hello, my name is Corie and I am basic.

I was born on 11/23.

I am purposed to encourage, edify, and empower.

I. Am. Whole.

That is what's most important...
