Twenty-Seven
Since I turned 26, a lot has happened, but the biggest one remains that I got married. You know when things happen and people say, “I can’t believe this happened” — but not me. At least not in this case.
In December 2024, during Reboot Camp, one of my prayer points was, “Lord, I am ready to get married. 27 meets me a married man.”
The funniest part of it all is that I had just left a relationship at the time, so it’s not like I had someone I was actively planning to marry.
Nonetheless, I prayed and trusted God that it would happen — 27 will meet me a married man.
As I write this today, that’s the only thing that comes to mind. I am 27 now, and God has been so faithful and intentional about me. As I opened with, there are too many things that I can’t count.

This time last year, I was fairly new in a completely different environment, but fast-forward to a year later, I am fully settled in my space with my family, and life couldn’t have been better.
Over the last year, I have visited two countries with my wife, creating memories and shared experiences. It has been quite the journey.
My birthday this year is all about thanking God. It is all about what my Father has done for me. I am trying as much as possible not to be figurative, so everyone can see how good God has been to me.
Too many times this year, God came through just at the right time for me. Countless times, God helped me. I can never take it for granted.
And as I move into this new age, I am going with one mindset: that God answers prayers. I am screaming to anyone who cares to listen that we can absolutely trust God with our lives. He will never mismanage them.
I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for His grace and mercies, because they never cease.
Thank you, Jesus, for 27.
Love,
This married man.
