So here I am 6 days away from my 29th birtday and as I do a lot around this time of year I am reflecting. I am reflecting on where I thought I would be by this time as opposed to where I am. If you asked me as a young undergraduate in my junior year of college where I would be by the time I was 29 I would have surely told you that I would be married with at least a baby on the way. Funny how God has a plan that can be totally different from our own yet things tend to work out for the best. I always find it interesting how I always related being an adult to being married with some children. Like when you are only responsible for yourself it is kind of hard to feel like an adult. Maybe thats just me though. I have no idea what He has planned for me but I eagerly await the future chapters of my life.
One thing that I can say is that over the past year I have experienced a lot of personal growth. If you asked me last year as I awaited my 28th birthday if I was happy I would have most certainly responded with a resounding “NO!” but this year I can truly say that I have joy. I have joy in all that I have been blessed with up to this date, I have joy for the family, friends, and collegues I have been blessed to have in my life, I have joy in that I am a healthy soon to be 29 year old who is building a dream and I am so excited about the road ahead of me. Ahhhhh it is so refreshing to be at this place in my life. I am sure as my born on date comes closer that I will be doing more reflecting and go into some more detainl possibly about what is to come.
Have you found your joy?
