I turned 39 this year. When we moved to Texas, I had just turned 30, so we've been here almost a decade. The time sure flies! I grew a lot as a person in my thirties. I'm getting older, and that will be hard as time goes on, but I don't think I would exchange it for the things I've learned. I know more about myself and about what I want. I know that I'm allowed to want things. I have some systems and habits in place that I use to manage my life and help me reach my goals. I have goals! And this year I reclaimed my own attention from phone distractions. It took several months for me to notice a difference, but now I really do. Turns out my brain works so much better when I'm not constantly driven to check my phone. This decade, I've also learned a lot about getting revelation, and my relationship with God has progressed.
So as I approach 40, I can report that I like my life! There are still lots of challenging things about it, and life is always going to be that way. But I feel like I have more skills and more experience to face the challenges. I know how to take care through the challenges. And the gray hairs are coming in! Woohoo!
I got a special gift for my birthday this year. It was an ice storm, which in Texas means that everything is cancelled. Sunday and Monday we had home church and relaxed and snuggled together. And Monday I got to write and read and talk to my family. And Aaron bought me a cheesecake (on Saturday before the ice storm) from the cheesecake factory. I really enjoyed my day. I also registered for Storymakers, and I am SO excited to go this year.
