Twenty-One

Welp, this girl is officially 21! Saying that makes me feel much more mature than I probably actually am. There's a lot of things I thought that I would be at 21- most of them which (surprise, surprise) I am not. Nonetheless, in this last year I've really begun understanding the concept of grace- especially to myself. And for a girl that's used to running hard up that performance treadmill, the Lord's proding of grace in my life has been so refreshing to understand.

As I walk on through this new season of life, I figured I'd share 21 desires of my heart for this coming year. I have such a peace from realizing how many places He's restored in my heart since this time last year, and am so pumped to see how He will prove faithful again in this next year. He NEVER fails me. In good seasons or hard ones.  And whether all these come to be or not, I'm excited to see what the Lord is going to do with my life in this next year. I share these to let y'all know how I want to grow in my relationship with the Lord by experiencing Him in new ways and letting Him refine my heart that needs a LOT of refining!
