Yesterday was my birthday.....and it seems like the older I get the more that day comes around quicker than expected.....but none the less, it must be celebrated because 1. I have children who now know about dates and celebrations that include lots of gifts, cake, ice cream, and treats which they have no problem indulging in no matter who's birthday it is and 2. another day/year to celebrate my life that the Lord has given me and 3. I like cake and presents too!
Soooooo.......that is what we did.....we went to church and then out to eat with friends at a hibachi grill which has awesome food and then went shoe shopping (haven't done that in a couple years!) and then home to eat cake. I got the most awesome gift from my good friend Bobbi. It is a leather-bond application study Bible, and it is my most treasured possession. I love it so much and am so excited to read it. The maps, the time lines, the charts and diagrams, the application notes, the cross-references, and so much more make this Bible so interesting to read and study....I get so excited just smelling the cover and feeling how soft it is...and running my fingers over the gold-plated pages....b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!
Sooooooo.....here's to my way past 3 decades of life! (by 2 years)....I look forward to growing and maturing in the Lord and to fulfilling His purpose for my life......I am so amazed at what God has accomplished in me already and can't wait to see what He has for me...."For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and and come to me and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity....." -Jeremiah 29:11-14.
Well I must go eat some more of this funfetti birthday cake while the kids are in bed....cuz when they get to it they sure won't be thinking about saving some for the birthday girl :)!
