Birthday :)

As you get older (and I use the term "older" very loosely here), it seems that you start to look at life differently each year.  At least I have.  I turned 24 on Monday and amidst the cards and flowers, the lip gloss and Sephora gift cards, the jewelry and Gondola rides (my personal favorite), there's this thought of age and life and purpose, that looms around me. 

I have had 24 long years on this planet.  What have I done with 24 years?

Sure, I've graduated college successfully and quickly.  Then I landed a steady job with benefits, too!  And I have some really fabulous people in my life.  But WHAT have I personally done? 

I think it's time for me to start thinking more carefully about my life.  I've gotten myself positioned in a good spot where I'm making decent money, I drive a new car, I have nice things, and I do fun things.  I'm comfortable.  On paper.  But there is a part of me that's yearning for something more.  Something big.  Something different.  Something new.  Something borrowed?  Hmmmm.... ;) 

All joking aside, I'm excited to see what this year holds for me.  I'm excited to see where God takes me and how He uses me.  I want to live my life in the most self-less way possible, and I hope that I can take this next year doing just that.  Serving Him and others in as loving a way as possible...
