Today I turn 35 years old.
Am I sad about getting older? I really don’t think so. I think there is a bit of sadness that comes from saying goodbye to a sweet chapter in my life, but I am excited for this next season of my life!
I don’t feel like I have missed out on the best years of my life like one may be inclined to think when they hear I was sixteen years old when I gave birth to my daughter.
I have been taking an honest look at my life recently. It has been an adventure. Most days I sit in awe of the fact that this is really even my life I am living.
I am SO thankful for every single thing that I have been shown and learned in my life. And that He has chosen for ME to carry this part of HISstory!
It is hard to believe where I began my life in this world compared to where I am today.
You can read my Story of Grace posts to get a better idea of what I’m talking about. It amazes me how much my life has been filled with grace from the very first day I was conceived.
I don’t ever want to look back at my life and feel as though I had done nothing with it. Life is a precious gift and I need to remember that each and every day.
And at the end of the day my only hope is that I have made my Father smile by something I have done.

I turn 35 this summer and, frankly, I am not dreading it. My 30’s have been great!

Not to depress you, but the Bible says that the years of man is 70 and if he lives longer, he is blessed. So actually, you should be saying goodbye to the first half part of your life.
