I Burned All My Old Journals

I’m Turning 30 & Couldn’t be Happier
As a kid, I always wanted to be older. I guess that’s why 30 is so darn exciting for me. I knew each year would be greater. With increasing age comes lessons, wisdom and new levels of responsibilities. What’s even cooler is Jesus started his public ministry at the age of 30 and I believe…
