27 things—

To be blessed is an understatement. This year, it definitely hit different. It’s a common thing to be gifted things when birthdays roll around but this year I decided I didn't want anything gifted to me. For the first time in 27 years I finally felt like I had everything I wanted, and more, in life. I have a husband, we have a house we can now call home and all of my dreams have slowly but surely come true. I’m not sure what next year will look like, but for now, I’m beyond blessed to see 27 and I can’t thank God enough for His many blessings.

As simple as it sounds, I spent my morning talking to Jesus, playing the piano and singing my favorite worship songs. It honestly could not have been better. Later, my husband got home and surprised me with some flowers and my favorite cake from Edgar’s Bakery. I also spent some quality time with my parents and sister over the weekend —I had the best time!

Here’s my list of 27 things I’ve learned in 27 years:

Be thankful, always.
Everything happens for a reason, everything.
God’s timing, not mine.
God’s plans for my life will always triumph over the plans I have for myself.
Seek the eternal things first and everything else will fall into place.
Be a risk taker.
Keep some things to yourself. The whole world doesn’t have to know everything about you.
Live without regrets.
Pray about everything, I mean everything.
Seek God’s approval before mans.
Believe you can do what you set your mind to.
Materialistic things will not make you happy forever.
Live in the moment, not by the moment.
Photograph everything. You will be grateful you did.
Take the opportunities presented to you, you might not get a second chance.
Be spontaneous.
Pray daily and read the scripture.
Show acts of kindness when given the opportunity.
Do what makes you happy.
Be yourself, you are original.
Anything is possible if you believe it.
Believe that you can and you will.
Don’t let anybody stop you.
You don’t have to proof anything to anybody.
God’s got you.
Be the friend you’ve always needed.
Life is a gift, don’t waste it.
