So as I approach 29 years old… almost 30. whoa, was that out loud? There are many great memories of growing up and it’s fun to be nostalgic sometimes, I am so grateful that God has blessed me with such a wonderful family.I am thinking about my childhood a little more lately, not only my childhood but my young adult years as well. I am remembering being around 8 years old and falling asleep on the pew at PGBC while my grandmother played the piano for choir practice on Sunday afternoon and waking up with an indention of the fabric all over the side of my face. I am remembering being a teenager and sitting at the jewelry store all day long while everyone around me worked and feeling bored… Ofcourse if I said I was bored my grandmother would tangle some chains and then tell me I wasn’t bored anymore when she made me untangle them!I also remember her telling me about Christ and all He had done for me. I was very young when I gave my life to Him and in some ways I understood but I didn’t really realize what it meant until I was older.I have never questioned my salvation. I just always wondered what I was supposed to do with it.I have never been this close to God, He has always been there and I guess I just wasn’t paying much attention to Him. I was too busy worried about stupid stuff. I am one of those people that has to be in control of what happens. I plan ahead and already know the outcome of things before I make a move. at least I think I do. I was doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing and not asking for His guidance and will for my life. It feels so great to give everything to Him… and I mean everything.I am not sure what He has in store for me or what my next journey in life will hold. I thought by now I would be married with kids running around and like 10 jewelry stores all over the southeast ( that sounds stressful) but there are different plans in store. I can’t wait to find out what they are.As a great southern baptist preacher once said… “In Closing”I have questions every day about the future and what I am supposed to be doing… and although I am anxious to find out; I am content in the NOW!
