Today is a big day for this girl. Not only am I looking into a new year, but I'm also face to face with a new decade. Today is my 30th birthday.
As I've thought about this past year and what 2015 holds I also start to think about the last 10 years of my life and what the next 10 will bring. The last 10 years saw college, the death of my grandma, marriage, a new church, another new church, welcoming new friends and saying goodbye to old ones, drawing closer to God then I ever was before, enjoying three godbabies and a best friend I never knew I needed, and so much more! I had plans for my life, goals/milestones to hit by the time I was 30. I planned on marriage... check, I planned on being a homeowner... working on that, I planned on being a mother... Jeremiah will be here soon enough.
There are also things I didn't plan... I didn't plan to be Pentecostal, I didn't plan to be this unhealthy, I didn't plan to work in the ministry, I didn't plan to marry a man called to preach, I didn't plan to ever leave the life I grew up in (and town).
10 years has brought so many changes in my life. Some bad, mostly good, all for a purpose. My faith has been stretched and strengthened. My standards have evolved.
As I think about what the next 10 years will bring and being the big 3-0 I am excited. Truthfully, I feel like now that I'm officially 30 I'm an adult. Truthfully, I feel a bit nervous because time has moved so fast. I'm already 30! There's still so much to do!
My goals/plans/prayers for 2015 and my 30's...
-Welcome Jeremiah Ryan
-Get healthy
-Draw closer to God
-Practice a stronger prayer life
-Get a house of our own
-Use more boldness in witnessing
-More discipline/scheduled housekeeping
Happy New Year! Praying blessings for 2015!
