i'm 23, and i've come to realize what people mean when they say that your 20's is the hardest decade, because i feel it. i feel it hard. sometimes i question why life must be so hard, but i know that suffering produces endurance, endurance; character, and character; hope, and hope does not put us to shame in Christ Jesus. each day feels like a routine and sometimes it's hard to get out of bed, but i will thank God for the breath He's given me, and although i may not know what lies ahead, i know that He will guide me. but i have to make the step.
