I turned 30 yesterday so I’ve been reflecting! My 20’s were filled with more twists and turns than I would have ever imagined, but one thing I can say is that I learned a lot! I’d be surprised if another decade is filled with as much growth as my 20’s. Here are my top 20 lessons from my 20’s: 1. Jesus is real. My life was completely changed when I gave my life to Christ.

LIFE: Be Adaptable
Our success in life depends on our ability to be adaptable. Life is full of changes so we must learn to be adaptable in order to keep up and keep our sanity. We enter relationships, we end relationships. We gain money, we lose money. We’re promoted, we’re demoted. We laugh, we cry. We’re loved, we’re hated. “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 Life is full of seasons. There’s always something new to deal with: a new experience, a new situation, and even new sorrows. We have to get to the point of expecting change. We have…
