Moving on...my birthday today has been one of my favorites. My parents flew out to see me and we spent basically all day hiking in the national park :) After that we went into town and ate my birthday dinner....and just enjoyed being together. Gosh - what a great day.
Anyways, I was thinking about my past year and realized how blessed my 22nd year of life has been...in fact after journaling about it, I wanted to share a list of incredible things that the Lord did for me over the past 365 days:
1. I had an incredible senior soccer season. We made it all the way to NAIA nationals and had the best team chemistry I had experienced in years...we really did play for an audience of One.
2. I was able to live with 5 incredible women for my last stand at IWU...so many awesome memories.
3. I ran my 11th half marathon with my mom, dad, and big brother!
4. Had the chance to skip a class or two and make a solo road trip to Nashville to visit Abby...soooooo much fun.
5. Backpacked the Grand Canyon. Enough said.
6. Graduated college :) With two degrees mind you...neither of which I am using right now.
7. Got to spend the first few months of my summer with my best friend AFTER we road tripped to Colorado from Michigan and were able to see Ryan, Bethany and Mason on the way.
8. Got to serve the Lord at 9400 ft. on top of a mountain surrounded by the Rocky Mountain National park for the entire summer. Played sports and loved on kids all summer long.
9. Found my first job after college to be at the same camp...gotta love Camp T.
10. Fell more in love with my Savior...one more year closer to Him and one more year to continue help me realize that He's got my life under control.
Soooo...this is just a glimpse of what the past year has been for me..but needless to say, it has been unforgettable. I am in love with life and completely trust the Lord's hand on my future. Heck, if my 22nd year of life could get me here...I can't wait to see where the Lord takes me on my 23rd ride around the sun :)
