I'm turning 25 in two days. (That sentence just sounds weird.) This year is going to be a year of discovery. And it's exciting because even though the past 24 years of life have been pretty great, I've kind of lived my personal life like a turtle; sticking my head out when life is good but living most of my days in my shell. I guess that I was trying to protect myself from anything too difficult to handle. Which is just pretty crazy because how is that really living?
This year is a learning year.
Learning to embrace everyday
Learning to be present
Learning to be a supportive wife, daughter, sister, and friend
Learning that my emotions DO NOT control me
Learning to be open minded
Learning not to focus on the big, but finding peace with the small
Learning that I do have influence, and I have the choice to make it good or bad
Learning to give
Learning to serve OTHERS
Learning to trust in God and who He is
Learning to be content in every season
Learning to be grateful
Learning that there is power in being faithful
Learning that my actions, words, and decisions matter
Learning that circumstances do not define who I am
Learning that I can change the world
Learning to fully surrender to Christ. Because when it comes down to it, He's really all that I need.
I'm ready for you, 25.
