29

I turn 29 today. To tell you the truth, I was a little inny-weeny-tiny bit sad before the clock struck 12 yesterday. It's like I was letting go of something I did not have enough of, knowing that there is no turning back, and I nearly shed a tear. And then I snapped out of the drama-mama and went to do laundry.
Today I woke up a little later than usual, and just praised God for his blessings and grace. 29 years of life, and I am at peace finally. At peace career-wise, monetary-wise, relationship-wise, appearance-wise, identity-wise, weight-wise, location-wise. That's not to say that things are perfect, but I have come to not worry or stress myself up over all these things, but instead I count them blessings I probably do not deserve. There's still lots of room for improvement, but I strive no more, instead I let God take over, steering me in the right direction.

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want,
He makes me to lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside the still waters
He restores my soul,
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
Your rod and You staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever

Psalm 23

What beautiful and encouraging verses. I want to hold on to His promises and shall make Psalm 23 the theme of my life this year!
