I recently had a birthday, and as I reflect on my life and what has happened in these last 25 years, well, the last few years really (A LOT), I think of what all God has given me.
A lot has happened already in my 20’s. I have been through a lot, but my family has been there! I have become a wife and mother and it has been amazing! It’s not easy all the time, or hardly ever, but I still enjoy every minute of it. I am blessed with what God has given me {and not given me, when I thought it was what I needed/wanted}.
I don’t really ask for much for my birthday anymore. Let’s be honest, what we really need/want for our birthdays anymore is money. Money for bills and to help pay things off. Right?! Or is that just me??
I just wanted to spend the day with my family for my birthday! And I got to do just that, it was great! We went to the pumpkin patch, then went to the in-laws for lunch, then went home and just relaxed.
Anna loved walking around everywhere and seeing everything! She especially loved the goat! And when she would move, the goat would follow her along his fence!
She loved just being able to go anywhere. We watched her, of course. She would try to follow other little children around (most of them were boys, uh-oh)! But she enjoyed it! She had a hard time picking out a pumpkin, it was so cute! She went to every area that had pumpkins. She’d look at them, then she move them around if she could. She’d walk around to others, and look at them. It was so cute. I love watching her grow and see new things and trying to figure them out. She’s so smart already.
She makes my heart melt pretty much every day! She’ll look at you, just because, and smile with the biggest smile! It’s the sweetest thing! I hate that she’s growing up so fast, but I enjoy watching her grow and learn new things! I love seeing the looks on her face when she sees something new!
How are we when we see God do something in someone’s life? Are we like a little child seeing/hearing it for the first time? Are we excited and happy for that person? How do we react to those things? Are we jealous of others? Do we wish that we got something paid off fully or whatever it may be? Everyone goes through different trials, they may be similar, but everyone has different experiences. Does that make sense? How do we react to others experiences to similar things that we’ve had experiences with? Maybe they handled it better than you did, or it ended better for them that it did for you. Don’t dwell on those kinds of things! Everything happens for a reason, and at just the time that we need it.
Anyway, got a little off-topic there for a second, but still! God is so Good! He gives us more than we deserve, and doesn’t give us what we really deserve. I am so thankful for another year that God has given me! And for the family that He has given me. I couldn’t have asked for anyone else! He knew exactly who I needed and who needed me! Isn’t God awesome!?!?! 🙂
I hope you all are having an awesome FALL season! Fall is my absolute favorite season of the year! I love all the colors, the weather, its hoodie and boot season! Scarf season! I love it all! What’s your favorite season and why?!
