Okay, so the day is finally here, the big 3-0. It’s wild how fast it came. I swear I blinked and my twenties disappeared. I still remember my 20th birthday (landed my very first job that day!) and feeling like I had life all figured out. Spoiler alert: I didn’t. Ten years later, I know for sure I don’t, and honestly, that realization is freeing.
My twenties were… a ride. Messy and beautiful, full of career twists I never saw coming, questionable fashion choices I’d rather forget, and a crash course in “adulting” (still in progress, by the way). There were mountaintop highs where joy felt endless, and valleys so low I wasn’t sure I’d ever climb out.
But through it all, one thing never wavered: God’s grace. Looking back, I can see His hand weaving every part of my story, opening doors, closing others, and carrying me when I thought I couldn’t move forward. And I know I wouldn’t be who I am today without the people He has blessed me with. My family has been my steady support, and Julia, you’ve been a huge part of this chapter of my life. I’m grateful for you.
Stepping into this new decade, I don’t feel pressured to have a perfect plan. Instead, I’m learning to simply be present. I feel like I’m finally planting roots, and there’s peace in letting go of control.
If I had to choose one verse to carry into this season, it would be:
Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
This verse has been a steady reminder for me to keep trusting Him fully, in every step and in every season.
So, here’s to 30! I don’t know what the next decade will bring, but for the first time, I’m excited about the unknown. Excited for the adventures, the growth, the deeper faith, and everything God has in store.
Thank you all for the birthday love and for being part of my journey. Here’s a little something to celebrate this milestone!
