21 years ago...
...on a blustery, winter morning at 6:45, on my mom's 28th birthday, I was born. Now here I am at 21, and she's 49 years old. Man, does time fly by! I love sharing a birthday with my mom! It's such a joy to share a special day with someone I love so much!
Summary of year 20:
Last year I spent my birthday in Kansas City. It was a great, mind shaking, heart shifting, crazy, awesome way to spend a birthday - and with such a great people, too! The rest of this past year has been such a journey, a learning experience, undeniably God-encountering, joy-filled, fire-filled, hard, beautiful and stretching year. I can't believe where God has (and is) taking me! I can't believe that a year ago I caught fire! (Actually, I can't remember where I was on my actual birthday...I spent the whole week celebrating and this part of it just seems to stick out)
This 20th year I...
*I saw my first birth - it was incredible!
*I went on some sweet road trips
*I went on my first, real winter vacation.
*I lived in three different houses. (I'm done with moving for a while)
*I went on my first limo ride (x2)
*I saw Niagra Falls for the first time - it's gorgeous...especially at night with the all the mist.
Goals/desires for year 21:
To know Jesus more.
To love more, to love well.
To take time for the little things in life.
To dance all kinds of dances.
To continue learning and stepping out in singing; spontaneous, prophetic and singing songs. To step out in obedience no matter what it sounds like or feels like.
To learn how to play guitar (yes, Jason...I do want to!)
To learn how to make pottery. To paint more. To photograph more.
To see more of this beautiful world!
To learn another language (hmm...spanish)
To have greater vision. To see with God's eyes.
To continue learning how to cast aside the things of this world and store up treasures in Heaven.
To take better care of myself. To care for others better.
To hear the voice of God more clearly.
To learn true humility and meekness.
To be confident in His love.
To be generous and have compassion.
Hello 21 - HERE I COME!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOM!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
