29.
Ouch. That stings a little bit. My last year in my 20’s? Is that even possible?
I haven’t accomplished what I wanted to by this point— what gives?
It’s amazing.
Now when I look at players in the NBA and NFL they seem young to me. Boy was that a shock. When did they go from old, to my age and now young?
I’m just glad Derek Jeter is around still!
What else? Music wise? I see the age when I look at the new Audio Adrenaline music video and see a much older Kevin Max. Or maybe on Instagram I see how much older TobyMac is looking. Yikes. I can tell time is flying.
A few short years ago (now 11) I had just graduated and moved to Portland. I remember listening to Tobys first CD ‘Momentum’ in my car on foggy mornings before I would leave to go to work at Target. I listen to that CD now and it just feels so young. He was less mature in his music career as I was in life.
I remember driving to the coast with JJ— my only friend who visited me in Oregon while I lived there.
I remember going to a Trail Blazers game in 2003 at the RoseQuarter and president Bush interrupting the game to announce we were going to be attacking parts of the Middle East to hunt Bin Laden. After he was done talking the arena burst into chants of USA!
Oh and then later on in 2003 I started this little thing called blogging.
So 29. I feel like I should be coming into my own at this point…. but
Life. It’s a funny thing. It could be over tomorrow or in 50 years. You never know. Maybe this year is going down in my life as a historic year. Hope so, and I hope for the right reasons.
I’ll keep praying that I can find the light in the midst of all the darkness. I have always felt like life is a map. A journey you are on. Sometimes all you need to see is the next step, other times even less than that.
Anyone have a light? Haha.
It’s frustrating sometimes, if not often. I sent a friend of mine a message and it is so true. I was talking about life and God.
It went something like… Sometimes I feel like God is going at a snails pace and I’m the stupid dog wanting to run ahead and push more and more. Yet if anything is true it is this: God Is Constant. Know what I mean? It’s a great thing. I really try to count my blessings everyday.
Alright so at this point in the post my mind keeps jumping around from topic to topic. So I’ll close it down for now.
just Pray.
P.S. Please pray for Emily as she goes in for her second interview with a company in California today.
