Twenty Blessings

Even though it's been almost two months since it was my 20th birthday (lol), I thought it would be nice to still carry on this tradition of two years. Turning 20 was bittersweet, but there are at least twenty things I can view a blessings for living on the earth for this long. Read up on my eighteenth birthday and nineteenth birthday blessings.

1. Growing everyday,
2. Learning different things
3. Taking on new responsibilities.

It's a large part of growing up, that I'm only beginning to understand and starting to appreciate. Not that it will be easy or everything will run smoothly, but it will be worth it later or to someone else I may help one day.

4. Never letting go of my childlike heart: I don't think I'll ever stop watching "kids" movies and loving on my stuffed friends/animals.
5. Being able to travel to new destinations with friends
6. Opportunities to share the gospel

It's really cool that these two things tie together during retreats during the school year.

7. Two words: mug cakes. When you need a quick pick-me-up or you want to give yourself a mini-pat on the back for making in through a long work day.
8. Building pillow and blanket forts any day, all day
9. Photos

10. Being connected to fellowship groups with people my age, at church and college
11. Having someone wiser in my life discipling me

Which, I believe, is important to be helped and help one another in their walk (Prov. 17:17)

12. A core group of gals to share laughs and struggles with
13. Making it through college without loans

14. Being able to blog for fun! :)
15. Using art in different ways and to bless others

I'm excited to see how these develop over many more years

16. Family, in good times and bad
17. Different seasons and the beauty found in each (especially Fall)
18. Starting afresh every new day
19. Rainy afternoons to snuggle in a blanket and drink warm tea
20. Jesus, as my Rock, Savior, and my God 💖

What are you thankful for this year as a ___ year old?
