30 and loving it.

Today is my 30th Birthday.

I went to Chateau Elan overnight to usher in the "great" day, particpated in their wine tasting and winery tour. It was nice and quiet and serene, almost predictable until the 2am fire alarm wake up call. We all had to exit the building and there I was, in a bathrobe wondering, "Okay it's my 30th birthday this morning and I am standing here in the cold, sorta frightened to bits. But it's okay, something out of the ordinary. Thank God it's outta the ordinary." I got to chat with some of the guests and share some small talk which I am not a huge fan of. It was exemplary fun.

Back to the day, and the three hours left of it. It's great. 30 isn't so bad. I am not even gonna let my heart take a plunge into my stomach everytime someone asks me how old I am. I am not gonna let it the be the first death knell that ushers in the last winded days of my youth. I am not gonna feel like a stage of my life that I really enjoyed is over, I am just gonna be me, and let love of God lead the way. It'll be okay. I know it is.


"Dear God thank you for the day, thank you for my breath for saving me in the dark hours, for giving me the strength I need to survive, and everything that I am I completely owe to you, I am an instrument of God's work and I am ever so grateful. Please help me climb the ladder just the way you intended, let your love, peace and strength lead the way and it's okay if I falter for I know Jesus walks with me. In Jesus mighty name I ask Lord to be with me this year of my life, Amen."
