In honor of my birthday, I wanted to share some truths with you. Imagine this, but I use birthdays as an excuse to think about my life--where I've come from and where I'm going. This week, that reflection process took shape in my journal entries. I really like to journal because you can look back on where you've been, what you were going through, and see how God brought you through. (Hindsight always makes almost-perfect sense.)
I can't take credit for these because I'm pretty sure someone (or a few someones) who are older and wiser than I am originally shared them. However, I am a firm believer that they are worth sharing--especially to the young women who read my bloggity-blog. Remember that you are loved.
