Growing up

It's not about turning 21. It's about being caring and considerate, where you see beyond yourself and care more about friends and family. It's about learning to stand in the other person's position and being able to respond in love and understanding. It's about being willing to reach out beyond what we're too used to. It's about giving and giving up the want to receive all the time. It's about remembering that young or old, weak or strong, proud or humble, quick or slow,we're all people.

It's about bearing the weight of being grown up without fear or worry, because there is hope in the Lord.

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. (Romans 15:4)
