It’s coming in a few hours. There were some days when I never thought I would see it. How is that it fills me with partial dread and partial joy. What’s up with that.
It’s my birthday.

And I’m turning 26. Tomorrow.
26.
As in: no longer 25.
How did this birthday get here? How in the world am I now in my late twenties? No way. This can’t be happening. Really??
I’m kind of freaking out about birthday # 26 because in my mind I have list of things that I feel like “I should have accomplished” by this time.
But then I pray and realize that perhaps my “list” and God’s “list” are different.
A very wise person once told me that in certain seasons of your life, you are simply not able to see the fruit of your labor. Yes, true. Thanks Matt.

On the flip side… I am also so thankful for this birthday. I am so excited to see what God will do in the 26th year of my life!
“Appreciate the small things, for one day you will look back and realize that they were the big things” Robert Brault
So, in my twenty sixth year of life you will find me appreciating the small big things.
God, you are so good.
You knew me when I was young, you know me now, you will know me when I am old and gray. And your love for me never wavers. When others come and go, your love for me is forever constant, never changing. Your guidance is like a strong tower of protection and security.
No matter where I go, what I do, who I’m with, or how old I am, You are always there! Your love will forever remain. You are my constant friend.
