down in denver down in denver all i did was die...

my last two hours of 23 and as i refelct on the past year on this my birthday eve i am amazed as usual by the grace of God. i think about how many times i was ready to give up on God and church and life and just walk away and live for myself. i think about my exodus of springfield which much like egypt i thought it would be better to be a slave there than to go somewhere things were unsure. i think about how i could possibly end up living in north dakota and how i am still single here but some how ok with it. more okay with it than i ever have been. i think about how i am finally starting to feel like an adult and how i think i am ready to take on those responsibilities. i am getting comfortable in my skin and who i am and i like me. so here is to twenty four and all she has in store, i look forward to her and anticipate the reflection the same time next year.
