My 20th birthday found me in my second year of college and first year of nursing school. I had not been chosen for the dance team and no one was dating me. I remember feeling rather fretful about both situations and knowing I could do very little to change either. I cried in my pillow some days and wondered what was wrong with me. My advice would be "don't fret, God has a grand plan for you, be patient and you will see miracles and goodness very soon." In the end, the dance team leaders came and asked if I would come back as they had lost a dancer. I was thrilled to do so. I was a quick learner and ended up dancing every other dance in a performance in Burley, Idaho. Ray asked me out for the first time a month after my birthday. Before the year was out I would be married and expecting our first child.
This is a difficult question. I would hope I would be generous but wise. Sometimes I have dreams about creating a safe and beautiful space for people with limitations can live and feel purposeful. I would donate to God's kingdom. I would build a big rental home where large families can gather. Perhaps one on the beach and one in the mountains.
