Goodbye teens, Hello sophisticated twenties :)
I turned 20 today!
Frankly, I am ecstatic and have been more than ready to finally leave behind the teen years. It's been a rocky, emotional, angsty, horrible era of insecure teen-ness. Hahaha. Thanks to Jesus for allowing me to latch on to You in the middle of it :).
It's the commencement of a new decade in my life, the Roaring Twenties. Haha I'm now supposedly in the prime of life? The decade of optimum skin elasticity lol (it's all downhill from here =T ), the decade of freedom! Most importantly, a decade of being continually blown away by God :). I read this today: "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." I'm not just excited to finally finish school and start working wherever God leads me, but there's so much more beyond just ordinary life monuments..there's a whole realm of Christ's glory and power to be revealed in and through my life. I've experienced so many mind-blowing things in the past few months, I can't even imagine what kinds of things will go down within the next few years. Truly, He will do immeasurably more than I can even fathom :).
But kind of bordering between ordinary life and the supernatural haha, I'm most excited I guess..to fall in love within the next decade :). I started thinking about my "one" a few weeks ago, and lifted up my first prayer about him the other night in the bathroom while everyone was sleeping. It felt kind of special. But a little scary.. to know that he was actually out there somewhere, moving and breathing and doing things. I wondered what he was doing. The other day I came across a book in the bookstore about letting God write your love story. It was written by a couple, and after they got married, the husband showed his wife letters he had written to her before he met her. How special that would be, to marry someone who's been praying for me and writing letters to me even before we met. But I guess I should start preparing the same if I want someone like that haha.
I wonder if he's going to read this. Haha =)
Today I felt like I needed to spend a lot of time in prayer & the Word..I guess to dedicate the next year and era of my life to God. I felt like Phil 3:8 was a good verse to hang onto for the next year..
"What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ"
