22 Years Young
I have turned 22. I don’t feel 22. But then again, how does being 22 feel like? I dunno, coz I’ve never been 22. So actually, I probably am feeling 22 right know but don’t know it coz I’ve never been 22 before. Hmmm…
The past year has been full. Full of memories. Full of experiences. Full of struggles. Full of God’s sustaining grace. I read my diary entry for my 21st birthday. The verse i wrote down was Ps. 139:18 - "When I awake, I am still with you." Indeed for the past year, everytime I awoke, I am still with God (and He with me).
At EXCO Planning and Retreat, at one of the devotions we read John 3:30 - "He must become greater; I must become less." The funny thing is, someone else from church also sent me a birthday message accompanied by that same verse. It strikes me coz of the word increase. As my age increases, He must increase, I must become less.
Here’s to another year…I am Esmond. And I am 22 years young!
