Thirty Five

I turned thirty-five this year. January to be exact. And I love my birthday!  I think birthdays are a big deal.


It's My Birthday! Lets Go Feed the Cows!

So was I thinking today - I sure have wasted a lot of time in 35 years of my life...

Don't get me wrong, I have done some good things, but I sure made some royal mistakes.  A friend told me I was going to love my thirties! And I have...But there have been a few tough times as well.  looking back over my life I think about how we try and teach our kids to obey us the first time we ask them to do something.  Isn't that what God wants to do as well? 

So I am on my journey to a closer relationship with God - and it has been very exciting!  I think of my past and who it has made me.  I just finished up a small group called LIFE - Living In Freedom Everyday.  I don't even know how to put into words what going through this study has been like.
Some weeks I wanted to
quit -
Hide
Give Up

But I kept going back. And it has been awesome. No description of the freedom there is in Christ.  It makes me want to tell everyone I know about this and how you don't have to live so defeated and sad.

So as I start thinking about the rest of my thirties, I want to waste NO time! I wasted enough time doing life my way. 

Hello middle age! I am excited and cant wait!
