What’s so special about being a ‘grown up’?
For most people, childhood brings up memories of playing and sleeping in, friends and being carefree. Enter adulthood–enter many choices and responsibility. Lately I have been reminded that I am no longer a kid, but I am till trying to live the best of both worlds…I hope I never lose sight of the need for this delicate balance.
In some ways a lot of the responsibility is frightening, in other ways I feel like everything in life has prepared me for this point. I know it doesn’t stop here though and everything I am going through now will prepare me for the next thing. It’s amazing to see how it all comes together with a purpose.
I have to imagine that no matter how old you are, life and the decisions in it can seem pretty overwhelming sometimes. We can thank God that we are not alone in those times and that we have Him and our family and/or friends to guide us. I hope we never feel too grown up to enjoy the simple pleasures, or to look to another for guidance and support in the heavy stuff.
