In between twenty and twenty-one, I did some growing up. And between twenty-one and twenty-two, I did some more.
As you get older, the years just kind of seem to all mesh together into one time frame. But twenty-one was pretty swell and I’m so thankful for everything I learned and did.
Really, I didn’t actually count up how many lessons I learned. But as I embark on yet another year, I’m especially choosing to remember these twenty-one lessons that I learned going into adulthood this past year. It’s been such an adventure already.
Some of these lessons I learned last year. And one year later, I’m still learning them. To be sure, I’m getting there – slowly but surely!
- Be open + brave.
- God’s timing + plans are perfect.
- He never shortchanges those who follow + obey Him.
- Hold loosely to things.
- Choose what is important to you/set priorities.
- Little things add up to big things.
- Let go and let God do what He will.
- Listen to understand, not to answer.
- Don’t give up on your dreams.
- Persevere.
- Some things take time.
- Believe that you can.
- You can do what you set your mind to.
- Be kind. Everyone is fighting their own battles.
- Stop overthinking and worrying.
- Don’t make comparisons.
- You don’t have to fight every battle.
- Embrace what God sends.
- God is more than enough.
- Stay humble.
- Whatever you do, always do your best.
You know what they say, One year older, and one year wiser.
I am so grateful for all the lessons God taught me this year and am absolutely ready for everything twenty-two is going to be. Let’s roll!
