Yesterday was my birthday. I’m 26. This year has seemed so normal. Turning a year old doesn’t really seem like anything big deal. I won’t be super excited about 30….but I’m okay with this. I’m trying to think of things from the perspective of the whole year. Where am I in my life at this point. I moved to a new place, started a new job, starting a new school and on my way to fulfilling my dream of teaching. I have a great church that I love. I’ve made some new friends. My family relationships are a little more stable and at peace, and life seems positive. Most importantly I have the opportunity to grow spiritually and do something more for God. I can to work harder, grow stronger and gain ground and maybe see a few dreams come true.
Those things make life seem positive, hopeful and meaningful. I am very happy with that!
The nicest thing that happened this weekend was when Missy and Justin surprised me with a bunch of balloons covering my hallway, streamers and roses. I cried. It was so sweet! I didn’t have any family members to be with and I miss them – but this was a really great replacement. Thanks guys. I am very blessed. God has allowed me a great life. No complaints. No regrets. So far so good! Lets have some more!
I’m Blessed (not sure who wrote it.. a great Youth Choir song)
Each day that I live he gives more than I need
I could never describe his goodness to me
You ask how I make it day after day
There’s only one thing I can say
It’s been a long journey but I have been blessed.
Walking with Jesus I have no regrets.
He has been good to me I must confess
The way has been long but I’m blessed.
All that I need I find at his feet
When I’m hungry he feeds me with Manna so sweet
When my soul is weary he gives peace and rest
All I can say is I’m blessed.
I’m blessed so much more than I ever deserve
He’s been faithful and true to his word.
I’ve been blessed by the hand of the Lord,
I’m blessed, I’m blessed, I’m blessed.
