To The Girl Who Thinks She's Too Young To Make A Difference

The title of my speech was “No Age Limit Required.” I spoke about how God does not have an age limit when it comes to Him using someone for His glory. I talked about the importance of using the gifts and the talents He gave you at every age and stage of life. And I quoted Paul’s words to Timothy when he said, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity” (1 Timothy 4:12).

But if I’m being honest, as I sat in my room watching that speech now eight years removed from high school, I felt so guilty. I thought to myself, if at 18-years-old I could have that much confidence and conviction in saying your age shouldn't inhibit your ministry, why was I having such a hard time believing that to be true at age 26?

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

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.

7 Necessities For Your Twenties

A few weeks back I celebrated my birthday, or as my little brother reminded me, took one step closer to turning 30. You gotta love him. Somewhere in between spending time with family and friends and eating my favorite birthday dessert (Tiramisu from Olive Garden – try it…you won’t regret it), I took some time to get a little nostalgic.
