It's my 20th birthday on Thursday (whoop whoop!), and I feel like everything I was supposed to learn as a teenager has developed in the last month. Like my room, my life was a pig sty: relationships scattered like laundry on the floor, my decisions unmade similar to the bed I sleep in, and burnt out light bulbs leaving shadows in the corners of my mind. Though my room is still a complete disaster, and will probably remain that way until I need a clean pair of socks, my life has finally been purged of the mess. I am so grateful for the experiences I've been given to grow! In every seed of seeming tragedy is hidden the fruit of glory and reward. In our dark, difficult places, we often become more deeply acquainted with the good and comforting presence of God. Every day holds a new adventure, and is a fresh start on life. That's the attitude I choose to carry with me and share with others.
