I Wanna Be a Toys"R"Us Kid!

It seems as though my 25th year is going to be all about growing up. The kind of growing up from a young adult into a full fledged grown-up (do grown-ups refer to themselves as grown-ups?). The last three months of my 24th year have made this inclination pretty evident. It seems more rugs have been pulled out from under me than I can count on one hand. Each time my world is rocked but God is faithful and has also made it easier each time. With each branch that God prunes away, he reminds me where my foundation is supposed to be. "Are you trusting in this thing or person over here? Let me prune it away and show you how you can trust in me instead." It's getting to the point where it's just me and Jesus and I haven't many options besides standing firm on Him. I don't have many hands to help me stabilize. Yes, He may let me fall from time to time but I know it'll only make me stronger. That's what I keep telling myself. These growing pains are awfully tough sometimes. Thankfully, though, He isn't just my only option. He's my best option.
