Here's to the NEW Roaring 20's

2020. I can't believe it's already here. I look back over the past decade (yeah, hard to believe right?) and A LOT has happened. It's amazing how much can change in just 10 years...

2010- The last High School Musical movie had been out for two years but my 10 year old self was still obsessed.
2011- My royal obsession started with Kate and William's wedding.
2012- Took a cruise to the Bahama's.
2013- I was introduced to the world of Instagram.
2014- I read Hunger Games and I become part of the fandom.
2015- Became a permitted driver.
2016- Become a licensed driver. Started a business. Took a trip to Alaska/Canada. Took a trip to NYC.
2017- Ran my first 5k. Took a trip to Washington D.C. Graduated High School. Took a trip to Hawaii. Started my job full time. First business trip.
2018- Started dating the love of my life.
2019- Took a trip to Disney. Engaged to my love. Said goodbye to my teen years. Took a trip to New Orleans. My family closed out 13 years of pastoral ministry. My love takes a new position in SC. I start a new position at my job.

Kinda funny looking back at how life has changed over the decade. Starting out as a 10 year old girl, then slowly growing into a 20 year old, independent woman. I am thankful for each year, each trip I was able to take, each person I was able to meet, and each relationship I established. I'm even thankful for each high and each low; there were plenty of them but they taught me so much. There have been times over the past 10 years that all I had was Christ to cling to. He has been a friend and my comforter when I felt lonely. I've held to His word, constantly. His Word has truly been a lamp to my feet and light to my path. If it had not been for Christ, I don't know where I'd be right now. Through the good times and bad, He has always held my hand and guided me to the path I should take. I had big dreams and plans, but Christ showed me that His plans were bigger and better than the ones I had.

Looking ahead to 2020 excites me. There's so much to look forward to and if ya'll didn't already know......I can officially say that I'm getting married this year. HOO-RAY.

Here's to 2020 and all you have in store!
