Think of your soul as a garden, always needing love and care to fully flourish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another year to live out Gods intentions for my life.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0A year to stand out of my own way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A year to live by strong convictions, faith,<\/a> courage, perseverance, and truth.<\/p>\n

Another year wiser, not another year older or more tired.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I have been blessed<\/a> with another year. Today is my birthday and I will listen, and go where truth leads me.<\/p>\n

“Whatever with the past has gone, the best is always yet to come.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think this is a good quote to remember, no matter where you are in life.<\/p>\n

How do you embrace your birthday, new experiences, or life changes?<\/p>\n
