On Sunday, it happens: I officially exit the teen years.
As I celebrate my 20th birthday, here are 20 things I've learned in the last 7 years.
1. Following Jesus as a teen makes me different...and that's okay.
2. Failure doesn't make me a bad person. It actually makes me a stronger person.
3. God dreams way bigger and better than I do.
4. I need rest.
5. "Books are the way out of your stagnation." - Joseph Solomon
7. Restlessness is a good thing.
10. I need friends who are different than me.
11. Insecurity is the worst, but it can be faced.
13. Life is scary, but God is faithful.
15. I need theology.
16. Life is filled with joys and gifts - if we're willing to look for them.
17. There's always more to learn.
18. School is good.
