Aligned at 31
There are certain milestone birthdays (e.g 16, 18, 21, 30, 40 etc) which people go all out for (as they should!). I was looking forward to turning 30 last year. I imagined it would be the year in which "life begins". I thought "finally, my heart's desires would be met", that things would align and life would sort of make sense. 30 came and...nothing. Still felt the same way I did at 29, my heart's desires went unmet and life was pretty much the same. In hindsight though, there were a few things that shifted for my good and for which I am grateful. It's just that what I truly wanted in my heart did not necessarily materilise, or at least not in the way I expected. But God knew best, and still does. I turned 31 yesterday! And guess what? My heart is still expectant! I'm expecting my heart's desires to be met, that things will align finally. What is different, though, is that I am actually genuinely excited to see what God has in store for me this ...
