Hey world, I just came home from work (had to make up hours.. corporate life on hourly ) and actually left early than I wanted to. That’s because I did not want to spend my last minutes as a Twenty-five year old at work or in my car. Instead I wanted to write a post on this night to remember (for me really) since I will never get 25 back. Yes world, I’m entering a new bracket (age wise then income wise right Mr. President?!). Today when I was thinking about the truth about aging, how I’m getting..dare I say it… OLDER, I got scared and sad at the same time. I felt like I haven’t absorbed my twenties yet because I had to finish college on time (21) and get a job (a month after graduation Praise God) and start my career (which took 3 years to realize). For 5 years I have been looking for my purpose… God’s purpose for me and I thank Jesus for helping me to start realizing it now. I’m not gong to completely say what it is but I’ll subliminally or even overtly place it in my posts to come, and my activities.
I started off 25 pretty good, had one of the best birthday surprises with a massage therapist appearing in my living room then being whisked away to Harlem, NY for some live Jazz and great eats. But the year got pretty difficult… challenging… a learning experience altogether. Talk about emotional roller-coaster. If I didn’t have Jesus, my sanity would have been lost, my esteem to the ground and future bleek. He makes the difference.
In thinking about what one word can some up my 25th year, I’d say it would have to be “closure”. I found out that one can not positively, move forward in life, relational or what have you, without closure. We have to learn to tell ourselves the truth about ourselves, as God sees us, about how we used to be, how we can no longer stay and how we shall be within His GOOD and PERFECT will.
I know you probably think I sound pretty vague but I’d like to stay at giving general experiential advice to the general public. Let me bring you to the 5 F’s that encompass me and probably everyone in the world:
Faith, Family, Friendships, Finance (I’m on a roll with these F’s lol) Future
Some of us have them listed in different order if at all. I find these F’s to be quite mportant and vital to ones being.
The first “F” allows the rest to fall in place. In telling yourself the the truth about God.. that He indeed exists and has a plan for your life which you can find within the pages He wrote (which are authority) via the Holy Spirit with men penning it, then you will come to find why He placed you THAT family you’re apart of, in THAT circle of friends you’ve come to establish, with THAT amount of legitimate cash flow you’ve come to acquire and why He’s having you head towards THAT respectable future He’s molded you to endure and persevere through. But all these things cannot be realized if you don’t have closure. Closure with you’re past, be it concerning a person or you or an event. What closure does is hinder you from moving forward. The lies you believed, learned, or said keep repeating in your mind and you can’t do anything but remain stagnant, spiritually mentally, academically, job wise etc. The truth is God doesn’t want you stuck, hindered or whatever other synonym exists. He’s about forward movement for His purpose. Believe or not, You were CREATED and not by accident. You were THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED in His mind and carved out and breathed into with His LIFE giving breath. You are to STAND OUT, LOOK DIFFERENT, THINK DIFFERENTLY than the social norm. YOU ARE NOT AND ANDROID, instead you are a beautiful being made a little lower than the ANGELS but yet still have POWER by the HOLY SPIRIT. You have the capacity to CHANGE this world for the better, and what is better than JESUS THE CHRIST? YOU can be a CHRIST change AGENT at any every age, from toddler to walker. My purpose at changing this WORLD for CHRIST started, it will be different moving forward, I’m giving Him the full reins.
I am starting to believe life gets better as you get older…wiser, and I can’t wait to learn more of God’s wisdom, for His glory’s sake. I’m glad to be at this age and working for God… while I still have my VIGOR! Who said 26 is old?!!? 26 is the new….26:)
Thank you God for allowing me to be born, giving me life to give Life to others.
Bless the Lord.
Happy 26th Birthday to me:)
