It's My Birthday!
Well, here it is. I am 35 today. Now I am a WOMAN for real, I guess. I still feel like a girl. Will I ever FEEL grown up? I have 4 children, been married 10 years, own a business, and have stretch marks and cellulite. I guess I AM grown up. Should I start using anti-aging creams and stop buying the 99 cent make-up? Now I'm considered "high risk" if I have another baby. My husband is almost 40 - but I think he looks 25 :). Maybe it is time to own up to being a grown up. Is it really so bad? Actually, I've worked hard to get to where I am, and to become who I am, and who I'm praying I'll be. I'm pressing on toward the prize. My past is important, and I should be more thankful for all those years I have under my belt. (Well, under my muffin top) I have been through many things that have shaped me into who I am today. Many trials that have proved God so faithful. I should shout those testimonies from the rooftops, to encourage others and proclain His goodness. I truly am thankful for each and every one of those years, as they have each been filled with the blessings of God. God carried me through an eating disorder, and paralyzing post-partum depression. He miraculously healed me, and the winter has passed. He has traded my sorrows, and JOY truly comes in the morning. I am happy to be a 35 year old woman with battle stories to tell. I pray I can be an encouragement to some younger gals. I still have A LOT to learn, and I pray for Godly older women to mentor me. So, on this birthday, instead of feeling OLD, I will celebrate my years and God's faithfulness. (I mean celebrate inside, because I really just have an ordianry day of wiping noses and bums ahead of me!) And, I wouldn't want it any other way!
