Do you ever think we can ever really be adults? While at home i've been realizing more and more the people who have seen me grow up dont treat me like the 20 year old woman I am. I have begun to realize how frustrating this really is. My parents, grandparents and friends...still talk to me like I am the 16 year old Amber in highschool with no cares in the world. What is it about that age that people hold onto? Is there a fear of me becoming who God has created me and them not knowing what to do with it? Are the memories so warm, inviting and cherished that they are unable to see the new ones to be made? I for one will not deny new memories and not stoop to the level of my 16 year old self just to please others. Maybe I'm not the same person, carefree and willing to provide a laugh whenever it is needed.
I know that God has a great plan for me and even though I do not know what that plan is yet...I will not back down from him. I have learned this break that whether or not someone treats me my actual age has nothing to do with what God wants to do in my life. That his plan for me will happen even if there are some who would like to remain in a previous time. So even though some may treat me like i'm 16, and I get frustrated, I know that God treats me like my 20 year old self and He is willing to use me...and for that I am so thankful.
