That means at 3:27 p.m. I will officially be 24 years old.
My heart sinks as I write that. I'm not old by any sense of the word. However, I am slowly beginning to understand the phrase, "Well I'm not getting any younger!" I still have a large and wonderful life ahead, but I have many memories behind me as well.
I am thankful for the life God has given me. Here are 24 things I am thankful for (in no particular order except for the first few):
1. God.
Okay yeah this is the usual. Every Hollywood actor says they thank God for getting a narcissistic award for sexiest sex scene or whatever. But I am for real. I hope I don't have to explain too much here because if you have ever been around me you would see how grateful I am.
He is my Rock, Salvation, Refuge, Comforter, Faith, Love, Treasure, Lord, Hope, and Father.
2. My family.
I don't know where I would be or who I would be without them. I love them all so much and wish I had pictures of them all.
3. Rebecca Malphurs.
Soon to be Rebecca Watford! No amount of pictures could capture how I truly feel about this woman.
4. My call into ministry.
This is a heavy calling that I do not take lightly. God has given me vision and direction for my life.
5. Siloam Youth
This goes along with number 4. I love these kids so much.
6. Andy and Rhonda Hunter
They have made more of an impact on my life than they will ever know.
7. The Nicholsons
Ever since I have moved to Marion, they have treated me like their own. I'm beyond thankful for them.
8. Ashford Academy and all the memories that go along with it.
We were together for 15 years. Good times!
9. Youth Group Days
Though I work with youth now days, there was a time I was in youth group myself. And it was fantastic.
10. BCF and everyone there
I must say, this was some of the best times of my life.
11. Band days
I have been in several different bands through out the years. I got to play on stage with some of my best friends I've ever had.
12. Haiti
To this day, this is the only overseas mission trip I have ever been on. I said when I left that it changed my life, and that statement still stands.
13. All of the Wired camps!
I have aproxiamately a billion pictures of Wired stuff. So here are my brothers and sisters I got to know as track leaders.
People always say it's the little things in life that make it worth living. Well, those first one are the cake; the rest of them are the icing.
14. Balloonshop and quoting the videos 24/7.
Answer the question Steven...
15. When I asked Becca to her Junior/Soph formal.
Thanks Steven. :)
16. My 2012 Passion small group.
17. When I went to Alaska.
Only a select few will understand the picture of us driving through a train tunnel and why it had such an impact on my life haha!
19. This beach trip with Becca and Caleb.
This is the time I laughed the hardest I have ever laughed.
20. Snow day 2014!
21. These memes that make me laugh every time.
22. Baman and Pidaman.
Only few of you will understand the significance of these.
23. Going to Callaway Gardens with these kiddos.
24. My books.
And I have to do one more for good measure!
25. When Becca and I got engaged!
There are millions of other things I am thankful for that could never be put into pictures or even words. So thank you to everyone who have made my life what it is today!
