Today is my birthday!!!
I am so excited. I’ve been on a little bit of a social media fast, so to everyone who already has or plans to wish me a happy birthday today – thank you.
I always like to take some time before my birthday to reflect on how the past year has been. The year of 25 was a great one, but emotionally charged as well.
25 was the year I graduated nursing school and became a Registered Nurse. 25 was the year I began my career at one of the most prestigious hospitals in the country. 25 was the year I moved out on my own. 25 was the first full year I had without my cousin. 25 was the year that I accepted the fact that it’s okay to be single. 25 was the year I accepted the call pursue relationships God’s way by joining The One University. 25 was also the year I decided to share my life with the world through this blog.
As I sit here on day 1 of year 26 and reflect on my accomplishments and perceived failures of 25, I’m reminded of just how amazing the grace of God truly is. I can’t help but believe that this is first day of one of the best years of my life.
