To The Girl Whose Plans Are Different Than God's Plans
To The Girl Whose Plans Are Different Than God's Plans

I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was my first “big-girl job” — I wasn’t working at an ice cream shop anymore. I was the marketing assistant for a small business located down the road from where I was going to college. But I wasn’t just the marketing assistant. I was also the office custodian, which is absolutely hilarious if you know me personally. I hate cleaning. I hate it with a passion, and yet it had somehow become part of my job description. I was suddenly starting to miss the ice cream shop.

To The Girl With The Broken Heart
To The Girl With The Broken Heart

Getting your heart broken can feel like you got the wind knocked out of you, like a sudden blow you didn’t see coming that instantly makes you unable to catch your breath. Initially, the impact of heartbreak is disorienting and confusing. You start asking yourself questions like, “How did this happen?”, “What did I do to deserve this?”, and my very favorite “What am I going to do now?” You question your worth. You question your identity, and you question your future, realizing your life just changed in a matter of minutes and you never saw it coming.

To The Girl Who's Questioning Her Calling
To The Girl Who's Questioning Her Calling

I do realize that it’s not always easy to follow the calling God has given you. Maybe you feel like your calling isn’t practical and that it’s too farfetched. Maybe you feel like you're not as equipped as you could be to pursue your calling. Or maybe you think you just don’t have enough time with everything else you have going on. If any of those hesitations are going through your mind, let me ask you a question. Do you want to get to the end of your life and realize you never pursued the calling God gave you because you were afraid, worried, and insecure? Or even worse, do you want to realize you didn’t go after your calling because someone else talked you out of it?

26 Things I Learned Before Turning 26
26 Things I Learned Before Turning 26

Yesterday, I turned 26. 

Wow - writing that down makes it feel very real. Although, the lady at Chick-fil-A yesterday told me I look like I’m still in high school…so I guess that means I’m aging well? Either way, I’m now closer to 30 than 20. What a terrifying and exciting reality all rolled into one! 

I’ve learned a lot in my twenties so far. In fact, I’ve learned a lot in life so far. So with that in mind, I thought I would follow Taylor Swift’s lead and make a list of 26 things I learned before turning 26. Here we go.
