When I was younger I always thought that being 20 was so old. I thought by the time I was 20 I’d maybe be married almost having kids and have my life all figured out…
Well I just turned 20 and that is nothing I could even dream about at this point in my life. I’m in another country with 51 other people learning about Jesus and worshipping him everyday of my life. It’s funny how much farther God can bring you in life if we let him.
I’m learning to love myself despite all my flaws. I’m learning how to love others and to serve them in the way that the father wants them to be served. I’m learning that it’s not about all the stuff we have, what clothes we own, or if we match that day. I’m learning that I don’t need to have my life figured out at all. That I’m in the exact place God intended me to be at this point and that in the next season He already knows what I’ll be doing and that’s enough for me. I don’t know when or where I’ll be next year but I can only speak life into that God will have me exactly where he wants me and where he will be able to use me the most in the gifts he has given me.
So for now I’m 20, living for Jesus in countries I know hardly anything about with the kindest most loving people I have ever met. I love where I am at and I love learning how to live in each moment as I have a purpose in where I am and where God is going to take me.
