Birthday post

 22!

Here's something from my notes, I know I've been gone a while trying to find my place. A few weeks ago I was thinking about who I want to grow into, granted that the Lord gives me long life. I hope it blesses your heart and takes you into a more reflective state. Your life is like a mist, here today and gone tomorrow. 

Reflection

Reality is that I won't one day just wake up a gentle, nurturing and kind woman. I won't just one day wake up easily able to express how much I love those around me. I won't just one day wake up with a genuine heart and deep felt compassion.

I won't just one day wake up with a deep conviction for life and generations.
The things I want then, I must find in Jesus now. "For apart from Me you can do nothing"
Allowing the Lord to change and soften my heart looks like actually admitting that I'm not where I want to be then pressing hard in prayer, actually soaking in His Word and finally living those things out.

I must uncomfortably tell those I love how much they mean to me before them or I go. I must learn to forgive easily and not be easily offended. I also think that I must learn to laugh, to laugh so hard that it hurts. In short, I must learn to be a child; only with a little more wisdom.

The abundant life our thirsty souls long for is only found in His life, and so is the courage to live our lives.
