25

There is something about the age 25. I've been this age since last year... and in April, I'll be 26. Turning 25 was really weird for me, and my sister. I remember after my b-day she called and was freaking out because I was 25 and how old that was to her. =-) She was just freaked out because that meant that this year she was turning 25.

I think 25 has always been a milestone for me. When I was younger, I looked at people who were 25 and thought... "Man, I can't wait to be 25." I thought I would be settled, probably living in NC, married with kids on the way. CRAZY stuff like that. None of these things have happened. I am settled in my job (but it's not my heart). I'm not in NC (but neither are my parents). And I am definitely not married with kids on the way.

I remember going to my roommates wedding in PA last summer. There were several of us in the car, and of course, we were sharing our hearts... but mainly we were laughing... A LOT. (Now that I think back on it... that was one FUN trip!) Two of the girls are married and the other one is just out of college and still trying to figure things out. We got to talking about the age of 25 and how at this point in life... you've learned who you are and are ok with it. I agreed with them because I could see how I was starting this process.

Now looking back, this year has been a year of revelations. I have seen who I am... and learned that I'll never be "good enough" I'll never be perfect. But I am who I am... And I am good with that. Yes, there are things I want to change in my life. And I am beginning this process. But for now... What you see is what you get.

A little about me:
~I'm a dork. I can't help it. I've learned to embrace this.
~I love to laugh and probably sometimes laugh too much. Especially at work.
~I love my family. They are my support system.
~I love my friends. They are a part of my family.
~I have a crafty side. It comes and goes... but it's there.
~I love the Lord... but am not where I want to be with Him. (One of the areas changing in my life.)
~I love serving God through children's ministry at my church. But am enjoying this break from it... but miss it like crazy at the same time.
~I know that no church is perfect.... but struggle seeing the flaws in my church... which makes me question where God has me.
~I love to escape in a good book or a good movie.

Just some random tid-bits.

I'm so thankful that tomorrow is Wednesday. The past two days have been sooo long!
Yay for hump-day!
