I haven't hit that stage in life where I am depressed that I am getting older. So far life has proved that each year gets better, so I'm holding out that this year will be even better than 26.
Although that will be a pretty hard to do-- 26 was an unforgettable year.
This was the year that I also hit being a Christian for 10 years. But I can honestly say that my walk has grown more in this past year than all other 9 years combined. I mean it. I think I am coming into my own faith like I've never done before. I am no longer trying to copy the faith of others, but simply pursue Christ with my everything. I've embraced that my life will not look the way I thought it would or should. For the first time I have stepped out in faith without having to place fleece out for every decision. I trusting His leading and knowing His voice. Not that I have it all together, who does (see Moses, Paul, David, etc.)? But I know I am pursuing Christ, loving Christ and knowing Christ more.
I can't wait to see what He does with 27.
So if you could give me a piece of advice for 27, what would you say?
Comments: My dad and Papaw, both readers of the blog, asked how to leave a comment. So, I thought I'd also leave some instructions here. :) At the bottom of this blog entry, just under my signature/name, click on the word "comments." Then enter what you want to say in the box under "leave my comment." If you don't have a google account, just click "anonymous." However, if you click "anonymous" please put your name in the comment so I know who it was. Then click "publish my comment." And you did it! Hope that helps!
(Even though I look like an alien here, I like this picture. It's proof that I was born blond. Do you think I was working up a present for mom in my diaper?).

Sweet Becky, the way you wake up in the morning doesn't change. I get to see this little puddin' face every morning when you're a "tired girl". I love you sweetheart, happy 27th birthday.
My advice... listen to your husband as he is the leader that God placed in your life. He has so much wisdom...
and humility. :) I'm glad I get to grow old with you, it's a blessing to me.
hmm...my advice for your 27th year...
have way too much fun with those great girls living with you this summer and watch and imitate way too many snl skits! :)

Very good Becky .like your comments. your favorite grandfather...
I hope you had a fantastic day and that your hubby spoiled you! (BTW, I am laughing at his comment. So witty!) Happy 27th Birthday!
Happy Birthday sis!
Advice for 27?! Hmmm...well I'm not 2 months into 28 so you'd think I'd have some great wisdom, right?! Well, what I can say is live each day for Christ, seize the moment, have fun, go on adventures, do things you've always wanted to do (well, within reason of course), and know that the best is always yet to come, which means this will be a GREAT year for you!
I'm 3 months shy of 28, so I can't offer much, well 9 months worth at least! :)
As you said last year was your greatest year of growth, mine has been both 26 and 27. It's been two amazing, hard, and awesome years that I wouldn't trade for anything. In my mind, each year is one more year that i can choose to take a step back in my faith, or take baby steps forward to looking more and more like Christ! I hope that's this year for you too!
Happy Birthday Bec! My advice would be to keep living life like you are living it...like it's your last. Chase after Christ and not rabbits ;).
