Birthdays usually involve cake, presents, cards, and celebrating another year of life.
However, after going through difficult seasons, a birthday has more meaning to it.
There were days I didn’t know what would happen next. There were moments when I felt uncertain, painful, or simply exhausted.
Yet here I am writing this as I am a year older: Another year of experiences, lessons, changes, disappointments, laughter, tears, and unexpected moments.
I am still here.
Surviving life is not always dramatic. Sometimes it’s just getting out of bed when exhausted. Sometimes it’s continuing the day with little energy left.
I do not know what the next year will bring. I am not meant to know. God knows and I am cool with that. I just need to keep going one day at a time (Matthew 6:25-34)
You are still here.
Maybe you’re not celebrating a birthday today. Well then celebrate your survival–no matter the size–You made it!
Take a moment to appreciate that. You are worth the celebration 🙂
