The Big 2-5

Tomorrow at 9:30AM Central Standard Time I will officially be 25 years old. That's a quarter of a century. That's 25 years. That's 300 months. That's 1304.4 weeks. That's 9131 days. Believe me. I checked. I never felt "old" before. I still feel like I'm 18. I feel like I have so much of my life behind me but I have so much of my life ahead of me. I wonder day in and day out what the remaining days, weeks, and years will bring me. Will I have more children? Will Ralph and I ever get out on our own? Will I be able to be a stay at home mother? I don't think the questions will ever end!

I also sit hear and wonder what I have done with my life up to this point. I have graduated from college. I have graduated from high school. I have gotten married. I have had a baby. I have accomplished so much and yet I feel like I have SO much left to accomplish. I have so many dreams to fulfill. The number one dream is that we will go to Papua New Guinea in the next 5 years or so. I am DYING to go and I would really like to go while Ralph's parents are still alive and active enough. I worry about them all of the time because his mom is constantly having health issues and his dad is constantly not taking care of his health issues.

I finally wonder what I have to show in my life from a spiritual standpoint. What is my testimony of the gospel like? Do I truly believe in the the Church? I know I do but it seems like my birthday is the perfect time to reflect on life.

Let's hope that as I go through this life that I can accomplish so much more. Let's hope that I can reach my potential as a daughter, wife, mother, and child of God.
