25
Hmm..where to even begin.
This 24th year alone of my life has blown my brains out of the water.
I was stretched so far by the Spirit of God and I have been on so many different adventures.. it's crazy to think that they were all packed into a 12 month package. One of my closest friends from high school stopped by the shop where I work today, and before she left she hugged me and said "be sure to tell me bye before you leave Texas again, I just never know when you are going to just leave." I laughed ..because if you know me well ..you know that I am a nomad at heart. Where the spirit of the Lord is there is always an adventure.. and when He barely whispers my name I ride the wind with Him..most of the time not having a clue what to expect in front of me.
& I have loved it.
Every second of it
.
In 24 years filled with hundreds of adventures with my King every second has been an interesting feat.
I have wept at His feet.. a lot.
I have laughed with more joy in my heart than I could contain.
I have been blown away by His goodness.
& I have been surprised by His love.
I have gone places I never expected to go and lived places that I didn't know I would leave.
I have experienced His fullness..even when His fullness didn't look or feel that full. I have tasted and seen that He is good.
The most exciting part though..is that the best is yet to come.
In my 24th year..
I joined a travel club in February
Quit my big girl job in March
Packed all of my stuff in Denver and started driving..with little direction on where I would land..
Went on an insane road trip from that moment on..
Denver to Oklahoma
Oklahoma to Arkansas
Arkansas to Orlando to hang out Universal Studios for a few days to support Chatfield Poms at Nationals..yeah Krista Van Allen and I ate a lot of Nachos that week..they were delicious. No regrets:)
Left Orlando..went to Jacksonville for a few days..Left Jacksonville went to a little town outside of Destin called Crestview..for a month..
In April I then headed back to Jacksonville for an event with Margolee..
Then Margolee and I drove from Jacksonville to Dallas..I stayed in Dallas for a month..then decided I needed to see Denver one more time before I fully committed to leaving it in the dust..so I went back to Denver for the month of May
June
I drove back to Dallas.. or (Forney) I should say;) house sat for the Carrolls and watched their kids for a week! (That was fun) then I got a text from a friend.."Hey are you free next Tuesday" .. yep..what's up.. "wanna go to Haiti?" Oh yeah lets just go to Haiti..so we did..but before that I flew to Puerto Vallarta for vacay..to go enjoy myself at a 4 diamond resort..yeah that was AWESOME!..then I got back and had like a day before several individuals that barely knew each other got on a plane to go to Haiti. Went from Haiti back to Jacksonville..(at this point I've lost count as to what month it is) to help raise awareness for what our eyes had just encountered..was in Dallas for a small minute (a few months) before I went back to Jacksonville for a month..prayed a lot..then I came back to Dallas..and the year is not even over yet..
So cheers to 50!
Cheers to the 25th year of my life, that I truly believe will be the most interesting of them yet..(& that's saying a lot)
and the 25 that follow because who says that you can't follow the formula of the Spirit of the LIVING God and enjoy every morsel of your time here on this beautiful planet that He has entrusted to us..who says.
I will follow Him all the days of my life..where I will be tomorrow I have no idea..but currently my location is Texas..and I am loving being in His presence.
So I'm thankful for this new chapter in my life..25..it seems exhilarating!:)
Bring it on Lord!
I'm ready.
