Hey everyone!
Sorry it has been so long since I have last written! I have been really busy with getting all of my makeup work done from last semester.
I turned 23 last Friday! I am practically an old woman now. It really is weird to be getting this old. I know, I know I am still young and all that. It doesn't change the fact that I don't feel 23. I feel about 19 or 20. This birthday was a really good one. I have such wonderful family and friends that are so loving and thoughtful.
Some things I learned in my 22nd year:
- God is still good. Even on days when circumstances aren't good.
- I learned some really hard lessons about praising God through storms this year. I have had many "storms" this year. I have been sick more this year than I think I have in my entire life. However, I believe I am closer to God because of that.
- I am stubborn.
- I learned that screening phone calls is not good phone etiquette. People generally prefer you answer the phone or atleast return their calls.
- It is easy to "fall from grace".
- It is hard to accept that God loves me anyway, despite my falls.
- Dogs are the best pets. Sorry cats.
- Painting my fingernails makes me feel feminine.
- I like feeling feminine. That fact doesn't make me weak.
- People don't automatically know how you feel about them. It's important to show/tell them.
- I learned to kayak.
- The fine line between being a forgiving person and being a doormat.
- Obeying God brings freedom and happiness. Really.
- I don't like tofu.
- I do like pears.
- Patience really is a virtue.
- Diets are pointless.
- French fries are the most important member of my daily food intake.
- With Christ I really can do anything. I can make it through the roughest times by relying on Him.
- Yay is my favorite non-word!
Yay for being 23! What did you learn in your 22nd year?
