Last Wednesday was my 19th birthday. It was a glorious day.
But it started kinda plain and boring. I woke up thinking about all the things I had to do. I didn't feel excited. For breakfast I had Nutella. That helped to make my day a little better. I had class from 10:00 am to 1:45 pm. Then I had work from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Then I had lab at 6:00 pm. When I came back to my room, there were streamers and balloons everywhere. It was so colorful and beautiful. I felt very grateful for my wonderful roommates. Later that night, some friends came over and we just hung out and enjoyed some cookie cake. The day ended up being really really good. Life is good. There is no reason to sulk and let worries get you down. We should be enjoying every. single. moment. It's hard to always do that, but it's worth trying to.

So I'm up really late tonight. It is approximately 2 minutes to 1 am. That is pretty late for me. But I can't really sleep, I guess my mind is wide awake.
Sometimes I think that I am not very successful. I always feel this weird pressure to accomplish so much while I am still young so that I can impress the world and prove something to myself. I don't know why I think this way. In five days I will be 19 years old. That is crazy! I feel so old. I also feel like I haven't done anything with my life so far...but I know that isn't true. For one, I started this blog, which I really love, even though I barely find time to journal. Also, I am really gung-ho about my little headbands business and my etsy shop. I've also been blessed with the opportunity to travel a bit. I'm also pretty impressed with myself because I am somehow surviving sophomore year of college. So I guess my life is good. I may not have an amazing famous blog, or be a young millionaire, but that doesn't mean my life does not have value. I try hard to remember that my value ultimately comes from God. He is the real measurer of success, and in his eyes the successful are weak and humble. So instead of trying to boast in my strengths, I will instead strive to boast in my weaknesses. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ~2 Corinthians 12:9 |
