• 31 and life is so fun

  The other night, it truly dawned on me that I am one of the most blessed people in the world!  Right now, I get to be a wife (to the best husband in the world), a mom (to love-incarnate), a writer (and writing gives me a runner's high, a sugar high, and a caffeine buzz all at once -- this is when I feel God's pleasure the most), a seminarian (how I love learning about and thinking about theological issues), and a missions recruiter (keeping the passion and calling alive for missions as I encourage others to go!).  I only need to pastor (teach/disciple/lead a Bible study) and I will have it all covered -- all my passions, dreams and desires!  How awesome is that!  I am in absolute awe and disbelief.  God is allowing me to actively pursue all the things I love. 

  I turn 31 today.  And though I have enough gray strands on my head to prove my 31 years, I am not at all in dread of my accrual of days -- for I am finally again pursuing the things God wants me to, and I am feeling the thrill of it.

  I am no longer inactive and asleep.  I am in motion, in movement.  It won't be long before we will be starting our home group/Bible study, and then I really will be doing it all -- using all my gifts and touching on many of the dreams God has given me. 

  I'm 31 and so blessed!  I'm so glad life gets better and better.  When I was engaged to be married, I thought I was on top of the world.  It wasn't that I thought life couldn't get any better, but I had not experienced better up to that point.  Now I know a life infinitely better than back then.  And I know it's going to get better and better as I keep following Jesus.
