My birthday this year was different. And not because I didn’t have to share it for half of it with my twin brother (12 hour time difference is a perk) A good different. I remember last year’s birthday. I didn’t want to celebrate. I was going through a phase in my life where I was questioning what my future would be. Questioning my purpose in life. Questioning God. I call it my quarter life crisis.
This year I am in love. I am happy, I am blessed. I am following God’s call around the world and I am 100% confident in that.
God has taught me a lot this past year.
I learned:
…that His plan is always right and his timing is perfect.
…that He will use people in your life to push you in the right direction.
…how to forgive and the power in that.
…that God had always pursued me, even when I didn’t feel his presence or was close to him.
….that He calls me higher and wants a relationship with Him
…to find joy in the simple things.
…I learned humility through the love, kindness, and generosity of the people in Africa.
…how to receive feedback.
…how to pray for others and myself.
…how to let go of control
I learned to love.
Many of these things I can still learning and growing in. God is always teaching me, I will always grow.
What does my 26th year look like?? I don’t know, only God does. I’m excited to live it to the fullest.
I believe that this year I will learn God’s plan, call, and purpose for me. I am entering this year with open arms. I am here ready to do God’s will and I fully trust in what He wants to do. I want to join Him on His Mission, not mine. I NEED him and only him. My joy comes from Him and only Him.
Are you ready God? Because I am!
READY SET GROW.
