For those who don't know, I turned 30 yesterday! Yes, that's right. The age when you are 18 that you think is old. Well I've been 18 and remember thinking that 30 was old. Now I'm 30 and thinking, it's not so bad. I was in bed with a nasty migraine for the first part of the day yesterday, so the idea of being 30 didn't get to sink in. I have heard many people (women mostly) tell me how hard turning 30 was for them. I have even had a few men tell me it was hard. I thought it would be, I even joked about staying 29 forever, but I don't think it's so bad. What's 30, but a number. Jesus was 33 when He began His miracles, you can't be president till your what, 35? Seems being in your thirties is a good thing to me. Besides, I had one raging birthday party last night that let me know just how loved and rocking I am. Check out that cake! I had exactly four guests at my party and they were the only ones I cared about being there for my main event!
Turning 30 has made me stop and look back though. In the years since I graduated high school to now, I am amazed at the transformation from that girl, to this woman. I am ashamed of some of the things I have done, and disappointed that I didn't do some of the things I wanted. But overall, I am quite blessed to doing the things I'm doing now. God has blessed me with so much, that in my thirty years, I'm just thankful to be here, loving my family, serving God, teaching my children, and being open to what God brings next. Bring on 31!! (but now for 12 months please!) :) Smiles friends! Happy Tuesday!
