It's on its way...

...I'll turn 30 in two months. What an odd concept. I don't feel like I'll be turning 30...I'm pretty sure I still think of myself as 21. Yup, I do. It seems like so many women dread turning 30, thinking it means they're old. Well I guess I'll be older but that happens every year. Not to mention the fact that working with many an 18 year old I feel "old" every day!

Thus I realized something yesterday. I am trepidatiously giddy about turning 30. My hesitation is that I don't feel like I'm supposed to be giddy about it...but I am! I am so ready for this coming year, this new stage in life. It's a new season. A new adventure to take hold of. New things to learn and risks to take. There are things the Lord will be able to do with me at 30 that He didn't at 20 because I just wasn't ready.

There are many things I thought I would have done by now that I haven't. When I stop to think about it I'm glad for that. I wasn't ready. I wasn't prepared. Oh the grace of the Lord!

So here's to a new year, a new season, new adventures, and taking a chance on living life celebrating where the Lord has me at each and every moment!
