I've been pondering the beauty of "options" and how they reflect the youthful spirit of discovery—a trait I believe is embodied by God. I have sometimes unconsciously thought of God as an old white man with a bushy white beard, and long hair. Lately, my thinking has evolved to embracing God as eternally young, eternally fascinated by the mundanity of repetition- across the time existence of this world. We often grow older and loose our excitement at discovery, at mundanity- yet God doesn’t. He is still pursuing options across generations of human beings, and everyone of us is an option for Him. As this new era comes may you retain this divine curiosity, seeing every moment and choice as an opportunity to engage with the world anew. Here's to the options that unfold when we are eternally young, here's to finding joy in their perpetual newness. Happy Birthday!

It may not be entirely clear to you, but you inspire many. I draw from your grit, wisdom, and optimism, and I continue to look up to you. Above all, you've prayed with me and shown me how to do it. May this new year bring solid joy to you as you wholly trust in God.

Happy birthday Julianna! You always have a smile on your face. But I feel sorry for the person that gets to teach you to drive. Lol Just stay away from ditches.

Oh my, that is a scary thing, maybe an open field with no fence, creeks, ponds or trees 😳
