Yearly Inventory:

I invite you to take an inventory of your life at least one time a year! I have grown to love to do this because it amazes me how God is so present in my life. He is oh very present, in everything. I will go over my highs and lows of my 23, here it goes:

August: Senior Year at CBS.

September: Can’t remember

October: Got my brand new baby RUBY (N I S S A N R O G U E) and job promotion at work.

November: NOT TODAY SATAN (Thanksgiving, the enemy wants to steal our joy)

December: FUN FUN AND CANT REMEMBER

Jan: My best friends Daniel and Mary got married <3, I traveled with my best friend Katherine to 5 states including NY for the 4th time, was on the top of the Empire State building @2 am, and had the famous Legal Foods crab roll!

February: Had delicious Italian for Valentine’s with my bestie, had yummmy new orlean’s food dishes, grew in friendship with Cole, and went to my first LAX(Lacrosse)game.

April: Had the blessing of sitting in Marta’s baby girl’s baby shower(she’s a true miracle).

May: Had my first accident(hit and run), saw my best friends graduate from CBS, and met Maggie(she’s the real deal).

August: Here come the memories!

 
As you can see, I’ve had a blessed year. Everything that has happened this year has brought me closer to God. I’ve learned to see God in the mundane, in the small things, the things that go by unnoticed.That’s what gets me all the time.This brings me to say that living for something greater than ourselves allows us to enjoy the highs and lows of life because we know that God is there with you in everything.
This brings me to say that living for something greater than ourselves allows us to enjoy the highs and lows of life because we know that God is there with us in the joy and in the suffering.
I am so honored to close in 23. Spiritual warfare in my life is very present but I won’t let the Enemy steal my joy. I choose to remain joyful in the Lord because I know brings Him the most glory.

 

I love you all and wish you all a sweet year!
Happy Birthday to ME!
 
XOXO,
Natalie at 23.
