Again, I am a month late in creating a birthday post. I admit that I’m pressured to write something as inspired as last year’s or even the year before that, in the same way that I was afraid that this birthday will pale in comparison to my 25th. But I was proven wrong.
I feel that my birthday this year was so full. Not to cover up something that is missing, but to show me just how much I have.
I’ve spent time with a lot of friends whom I love dearly. High school, college, work and grad school friends -- I’ve spent time with everyone. I know that I am blessed to have so many for this long. I am thankful, because life will be less interesting and unbearable without all of you. Thank you especially for making me feel so loved this year.
Of course, celebrating my special day with my family has been the tradition. I am thankful for another year with them. Our strong foundation of love and support is something that I am very proud of. At the end of the day, they are the people I come home to -- the ones that I know will always be there. And again, I am more thankful than I am proud to be a part of this family. We are truly blessed.
There are certain people in my life that I know will be there til the end. It touches and overwhelms me that I am blessed with so much to last a lifetime. And at 26, I hope there’s still a long way to go. The journey ahead is unknown but I do have a big support group behind me. And of course, He who has been there from the start will never leave my side.
As with every year, I offer up everything to Him -- 26 years up to a whole lifetime. Every day, every task, every relationship I work on -- I offer up to You. It’s the least I can do in return. Just as how the clouds portend of what is to come, I can see that You have so much more in store for me. And like the heavy downpours that I love -- the blessings, the love, the people, the experiences -- I hope that You continue to let it rain. <3
