I have been wanting/needing to write this post for some time now...like eleven days.
I wrote last year about my birthday and what I wanted from the year here, and I think its a good tradition to begin.
So here we are, whether its late or not.
Age twenty is interesting. I haven't completely gotten used to the whole idea, yet. Not because I am lamenting my teenage years, but because at twenty I am supposed to be really "living" life.
Big dreams, lots of friends, grand adventures, and throwing caution to the wind.
These are, of course, the world's view on my twenties.
Yet here I sit, on a Sunday night with a cup of Honey Vanilla Chamomile tea. I don't have real "big" dreams. I have friends, but I don't hang out with large groups usually. I don't go on grand adventures, I guess you could say I am a homebody. I certainly am not the type of person who throws caution to the wind.
And oddly enough, i'm okay with all of that.
I don't want my twentieth year to be all about me and the things I do, but what the Lord has done in me and through me.
This year
I want the Lord to teach me to be a woman of grace.
I want the Lord to use me to be a steward of His glory.
I want the Lord to embolden me for His kingdom.
I'm an imperfect perfectionist, who is waiting to be sent and to find love, with a heart that needs to learn how to better bestow grace.
That's me at twenty. And I want to be so much more at twenty one.
