verging on the midnight of thirty
Annual birthday post (quite honestly, I really only use this journal for this nowadays. Bit of a shame, really.)
The celebration was a little early this year, but no less meaningful. Thank you, Father, that I am able to celebrate this day. Thank you for my family, and for the friends whom I can consider family. Thank you that I've walked this far, woken up enough mornings, cried enough tears, enjoyed enough happinesses that have guided me to this point. Thank you for the little privileges I've taken for granted, and for the miracles I did not. Thank you for your love, even when I forget.
I pray for a full year ahead, one which I can be proud of, one that walks in Your light more than out of it. I pray for Your hand on the wheel, and for Your everlasting grace. I pray I'll recognize opportunities in my path, and know which ones to seize and which to pass on. I pray for the strength to cherish those whom I love, and the open-mindedness to greet the future friends you will put in my path. I pray for fortitude to be strong when I need to be, but recognize you are my King above all.
Amen.
