Birthday...another year older

So I turned 27 today and Matt turned 25...yeah for those who don't know we were born on the same day! I love you Matty...can't wait to see you as a father and it has been a privilege to see you as a husband. Miss you lots, looking forward to what God does in your life this next year. As for me, this last year was a hard one, emotionally, transitionally, trying to figure out what's next. It was a growing year, one of developing more character, more dependence on God, more realization of who I am as a person. I have started to see a counsellor, actually been going for almost 3 months now. It's been an amazing time to continue to work out things in my life that had started when I was in Glasgow, but never really finished, I guess it will never be though. I have found that there are so many dimensions to my soul...you think you will be done with one issue, but ha! something is waiting just around the corner. Looking back on this last year I am remimded that God was still so present during every moment, though it may not have felt like it. As this next year starts, I get the feeling it will be filled with new adventures unlike anything I have every experienced. I still consider myself young, in life, in ministry, but I am thankful that God has captured my heart now. My prayer for this next year of my life is to just BE and take a break from overly DOING, for it is there that I can live my life not for myself but for One greater than me.
