What is one thing your younger self would not imagine you would like now? In my case my 20 year old self would not think I would like smooth jazz in my 40's.

Same here, and I love smooth jazz now.

I eat and really enjoy collard greens now, and for many years couldn't stand them.

Peace and quietness, my younger self would never have understood that.

My younger self would never believe that I like some of the foods I like now; wouldn't believe the music I listen to.

Most importantly, that younger self didn't know Jesus and never imagined he ever would. That would be the thing most difficult for him to accept about his more mature self.

My 20+ year old self could never imagine that I would enjoy being alone the way that I do. People are exhausting for me and I guess to some degree they always were but it took me some time to figure it all out...

My younger self did not enjoy reading the Bible, did not want to read the Bible for quite a long time. Now I love reading my Bible, I love doing my own personal Bible study and I just published a book about Bible study topics. All of that comes from a lovely relationship with my Heavenly Father. I thank God for His mercies over my life. God is good :)

Like HisGraceAbounds my young atheist self refused to acknowledge the power or mercy of God and could not have imagined both working in his later life.

Well you can't be 21! All the people I know (including myself) where in their 40s before they learned what you know.

Seriously. Amen to you. To be that wise at 21. God has blessed you. He will always be close.

Praying for you, your family, and your future.
