      <image:title>Blog - Life in Your 20’s - This one hit me hard.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Seeing people from high school get engaged, married, and having babies while I am still single has made me question, “Will I ever be good enough for someone?” One of my biggest dreams is to be a wife and mom, and to be transparent, I feel sad when I see others living the life I thought I would be living. So, to sum it up, yes. It’s okay to grieve the dreams that didn’t become reality. It’s okay to grieve the achievements that weren’t awarded, but it is not okay to stay in that sadness. Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Life in Your 20’s - I let my heart fill with bitterness and unforgiveness toward situations in my life. I was stuck in the sadness of how I wanted to be living.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It was not until I listened to the series by Pastor Michael Miller of UPPERROOM on Forgiveness that I started to realize my issue.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Life in Your 20’s - I had immediate heartburn.</image:title>
      <image:caption>So, with that being said, I switched to an online college, changed my major to Business Management with a marketing minor, and went to ministry school and focused on worship leadership. In the beginning, I was mad at God. “How is this your plan for me?” “Don’t you know what I like to do?” “My mom is going to freak out on me for switching!” The whole nine yards. This being my season of pruning.</image:caption>
