20 Years

It's weird that I can now begin - and I do mean begin - to say that things happened "twenty years ago."


The entirety of my life can be summed up in that one statement.  Oh, how things have changed.


Twenty years ago, I was laying in a blanket, probably asleep, drooling on myself, unable to hold my head up, unable to do anything really.  Now, I sit in a Panera Bread in Washington, D.C. - technically Arlington, VA -, writing a blog on my laptop, putting off my homework, awaiting text replies on my cell phone, and indulging in the glory that is a Starbucks latte and coffee cake.


What will the next twenty years hold? 
The end of my formal education.
Getting married?
Starting a family?
Beginning a career.
Lots of travel, including that which is international.
Gaining much needed wisdom and guidance from the Lord.
Developing into an adult something.
Exploring my calling.
Adventure.

It's the start of a new decade.  Bring it..
