Seventy days…
Like close friends who are comfortable with each other over a cup of coffee, I have been sharing with you my journey to age 40. Some days it is not easy, as I am baring my soul and allowing you in on some details that have been quite painful for me to re-tell. Other days I laugh out loud at how silly I can be over vanity. Since I wrote my book, my laptop keyboard has held its own through salty tears from both crying as well as laughing. I’ve also been guilty of slamming the lid in frustration. Today marks seventy days left of age 39. At my 30th birthday party, I told someone that my 30’s were going to be the best years of my life. They turned out to be amazing, but I’m taking that statement back. My 40’s are going to be the best!
Many people use the terms, “I’m finding myself” or “I’m coming into my own.” I like to think that these short 39 years I have lived so far allowed me to find Who God really is and come into His own. I’ve found myself in Him, and I’m better for it. I’ve been through more sorrow than I would have liked along the way, but it’s been okay. Life isn’t fair, but God is sovereign.
I’m enjoying sharing who I am with you. I know sometimes I can be kind of all over the place with my topics, but that is a blogger’s prerogative, right? I’m working through issues as I write. I have so much I want to tell, but don’t think I should until the book comes out, which should be right around my 40th birthday. I’m looking forward to letting you in on the whole story, and I hope I can lend support through the process.
We (and when I say “we,” I mean my husband, Paul, who is my brilliant I.T. guy) are going to be making over the site soon. We are preparing for things to come, and I’m super excited about it. Thanks for joining me on my journey. The first couple of months have been incredible, and I’m looking forward to spending more time with you. I pray daily for the readers of my blog. I pray the Lord to give you strength for today and every day. I pray His blessings overflow in your lives, and most importantly that you would seek Him with your whole heart.
It’s my theory that the best way to live is… Big God, Little me. Let God arise in your life!
