My twentieth birthday was really special. I got to spend it with my crazy, awesome aunt in Aspen, Colorado doing all the things I love best- spending time outdoors, trying new things, eating good food and enjoying sweet fellowship.
This year will undoubtedly bring new challenges, many changes, lessons learned and a bit more life lived.
Currently, the biggest sign to me that I'm growing up and taking on more responsibility is that I just moved into my first house! It's a sweet, old house with a lot of character in which I get to live in with some of my dearest friends. I'm learning that living with roommates means acquiring many life skills- like how to cook biscuits! And also more important things like how to care, respect and shower love on one another well while living in such close quarters. [And also it is a fabulous time for me to test out my amateur cooking skills on my roomies- no judgement!]
Academically, this semester is looking promising because I am finally getting to take classes that I love and am interested in and not just to fulfill requirements. My class schedule includes an English Lit class, Anthropology, French Advanced Oral Expression, Advanced English Composition and just for fun, Rock climbing! I've found that there really is no better way to get pumped up for class than riding on my baby blue cruiser bike to class, which has momentarily been named "Mozart", and jammin' out to Katy Perry's "Roar".
Yet one thing I can be quite sure of is- if I'm not rooted deeply in the Lord, I'll fall when the hard times come. The devil doesn't like when followers of Christ are being lights in the darkness of this world.
"The thief comes ONLY to steal and kill and destroy [and feed you lies and twist and deceive]; I have come that they may have life , and have it to the FULL." John 10:10
"Continue to live in him, ROOTED and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and o v e r f l o w i n g with thankfulness." Colossians 2:7
"God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at the break of day." Psalm 46:5
