This weekend is my 35th birthday and I can not believe that I made it. :) Don't worry I do not jump out of airplanes, 'play with guns', or take death defying acts lightly....my birthdays have, in the past, not been good. I decided after my 27th bday that a celebration for my bday would not happen again.
I am totally okay with aging. I have children that I have thoroughly enjoyed watching get older (as I age). I have someone who I thoroughly enjoy spending time with (as I age). I know that the someone I thoroughly enjoy spending time with grow old with me, and probably quicker since he is older than me (as I age). I know that when my children get married, have children, and get older themselves it will be because I am aged.... I am excited about my future or maybe I am excited about the legacy we are leaving. My husband and I have spent a lot of time and energy changing the course of the 'generational curses' dropped on us.... I was reading a blog a few days ago that read 'this curse stops HERE, in this family, in Jesus’ Name.' that has been my motto. I may go to my grave 'aged', but not rested....I spend everyday working toward placing stop signs all over the place... Maybe I have a new prayer... Dear God--my birthdays are no longer 'just another day on the calendar' as I have referred to it for a long time, but rather a day that celebrates another adoption into your kingdom... Amen.
