I love how the prevailing sentiment in your peace is one of “my life is not my own” whereas today’s culture encourages us to have an “own your life” mentality by this age, speaking as one who has also turned 30 in the past year. My twenties were far more wandering than most of my friends and family, which feels discouraging unless I remind myself that God is the master of all this. Thanks for an uplifting piece!
Thank you, Susanna! I’m so glad you were able to see that in this piece. Truly, our lives are a gift, and certainly not of our own making. I think when we can manage to remember that (which is no easy task) we are much better equipped to live well. I am glad to know that you find your purpose not in walking a typical path, but in trusting God with your journey, whatever it might look like. I know what a comfort it is to me.
I’ve not seen you in this online world in quite a while. I hope that means you’ve been greatly enjoying the offline life you have!

I love this. You do look like Jesus. You've got similar eyes sometimes (as I imagine them).
Emily, this is one of the kindest things that's been said of me. Thank you.
