30 Years 30 Lessons
Bye, bye Twenties! Hello, Thirties!
I believe aging is the process of accumulating God’s faithfulness. As I step into another year of His faithfulness, I want to share lessons that I’ve learned over the course of these years. Though most of this is an outflow of Christ-Faith over the last 10 years. But as I look back I feel that God’s hand was upon me all throughout my life.
Some of these lessons I’ve learned from dear ones who modeled this for me, others are a result of self-reflection.
