Birthdays always seem so far away, but when they arrive, they hit me with a wave of reflection. This morning, I woke up, sat on the edge of my bed, talked to God, and shifted my focus toward gratitude. Through tears, prayers, and self-motivation, I experienced God’s love in ways I never expected. Those trials matured me faster than I could have imagined, and today, I’m deeply grateful for it all as I celebrate 35 years of life. Lord, help me to number my days wisely and never waste another🙏🏾
