This weekend I turn 40. A sad day? I think not!
My days could have ended 16 years ago at the age of 24. My doctor told my mom I was a miracle walking. The Lord, has blessed me. Since that time he has gifted me with 3 more children, a move to the rural country side where I grew up, the opportunity to homeschool, the joy of capturing His glory in photography…. I could go on and on.
Most importantly He is calling me to step out beyond what I feel I am capable of doing. In the past year He has challenged me to serve Him in ways I had promised myself I would never do. Our God is sorta humorous like that!
So 40 here I come! I’m wearing my laugh lines and creases like a badge of honor. Society tells me to try everything it has to offer to get rid of them, but I say they are beautiful and they are earned! I’m ready for another year. Another year to love, serve, live, impact, and enjoy!
Happy Birthday Jenny! What a beautiful post! Hope you have a wonderful celebration.
