abundance

So here I am again, entering the world of written things in the form of a blog. Miss me? Didn't think so. My heart just needed to get a few things out there tonight. So here goes.

You know when you are right in the middle of a really great book, right before the best part, when you are sitting on the edge of your chair just waiting to see what's next? That's where I feel like my life is at the moment. The "right before" part. Not that my life is awesome book, maybe a good one though. At least I'd like to think so.

I'm turning 24 in two months..whew THAT snuck up on me. Where in the world did half of this year go already?!? All I can say about 24 is that I won't be sitting on the sidelines of my life like I have been..I've already started. Call it maturity, learning from past experiences, whatever, but things are going to be different. I feel as though God wants more for my life than I've been willing to open my eyes to. More than what I could see myself having, or daring to dream of. One slight thing I often forget about however, is that I am His child. I am a part of his inheritance. That's a big deal! He wants us, all of us, to live a life of abundance. Thinking of yourself less, yes, but knowing that we are worthy. It's even hard for me to write this, thinking that I'm being pompous and a greed. But it's the truth.

The real question that I've been asking myself about 24..is will I let Him change my outlook and continue that whole abundant life process? I sure hope so. 'Cause my version of my life is really quite suckish. With me leading the reigns for the past few years, it hasn't gone well. He wants more for our lives than we could possibly imagine. I don't understand it, but I will be thankful for it.
