Tomorrow I turn 39. In an effort to put forth effort, I've dropped carbs for a short time. I'm 7 days in and still ravenous! I told Courtney, my unofficial food coach, I may be the only person who gains weight after dropping carbs. lol

But while the skin may be sagging, the lines increasing, the joints aching, I have never felt more settled in who I am in Christ. I have found a deep joy in this anchor I am clinging to. This last year has been such an eye opening experience. I went after Jesus BIG and in return the important things fell into place. I see words that are boring and hard but are the sum of a life well lived taking root in my life - discipline, consistency, and follow through. I am the same person, but I am different too. My heart is softer than before, my hands more willing to serve, my feet are lighter, and my joy is greater. It is less about me and more about everyone else.
It's exciting that I know I've only brushed the surface of knowing God. I can't even imagine who I will become because of my discovery of who He is!
I've never been the tattoo type because what if but I'd put 'In Pursuit of Jesus' in permanent ink. Maybe I will. :p
In pursuit of Jesus, forever.
