My birthday is coming up on Monday and a lot of thinking (just like with everything else I do!) has gone along with that. I'm so incredibly blessed and amazed when I compare my life now to 365 days ago. The Lord has done a LOT of work. Something that has really stuck out to me is that people keep asking me what I want for my birthday, and that has led me to realize that I don't really want anything. I have some amazing friends that I didn't have last year, no boyfriend, a growing relationship with Christ - and I am SO happy. HAPPY.
I love my life. I love where I am.
So what I am doing for my birthday is making a list of things I want to do in the next year. No presents necessary :)
20 Before 21
1) Go a week without wearing any makeup
2) Change the oil in a car
3) Wear only t-shirts and a ponytail for a week
4) Paint old people's toenails in a retirement home
5) Turn off my phone for a week
6) Go a month without checking my Facebook
7) Map out my plan to motorcycle across the U.S.
8) Go on a mission trip
9) Rock climb
10) Mentor someone
11) Learn to fence
12) Sing a song for someone
13) Read through the whole Bible
14) Write Paty a letter
15) Run a 7-minute mile
16) Get a sewing machine
17) Create a fashion blog
18) Write Grandma a letter once a month
19) Watch fireworks from a roof-top
20) Catch fireflies in a jar
Happy Birthday to me! :)
Be joyful always. - 1 Thessalonians 5:16
It's october already... Have you been working on your list?
ReplyDeleteIf by working on the list do you mean did I completely forget about it, then yes. I did get to cross off #1, 3, 5, 9, and 10. Try, try again!
