3-0

Today is the big 3-0.

3.0

30.

Thirty.

Thur-tee.

Well no matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem that intimidating...even though everyone seems to treat it as such.  I'm looking forward to what the next year of life holds for me.   The past one brought more surprises than I would have ever anticipated and I've come out a stronger person for it.  I'm not necessarily hoping for a similar year but I do know that, no matter what lies ahead, I can trust that God has a purpose for me, and I choose to trust Him for all I need.

So in the face of an infinite creator that was before me, with me now, and will continue to be...thirty seems like as great a year as any to celebrate with joy.

Thank you to all of you who have been a part of my life.
