In an hour and a bit, I will turn 35.
After a long day struggling with tiredness and demanding children, I still have to say that I am so blessed at this point in my life. There were so many moments in my life when it could've gone all wrong. I could've wallowed in darkness, seeking pleasures that couldn't fill the void I felt inside. I could've pursued a higher position, only to live in fear of losing it all. I could've married that guy that didn't deserve my love and affection. But how gracious God has been in my life. He still teaches me each day that choosing the hard path is actually what will bring me joy. All the fleeting pleasures of this world could not compare to the satisfaction I have in knowing that I am loved by God.
So here's to you, God. Thank you for leading me to where I am now. Thank you so much for the beautiful two children that you've gifted me with and the wonderful husband that I can share this walk with. Thank you for the great friends that you've given me that remind me everyday that you care for me. Thank you that in the midst of struggles, I can still have hope for the future, because you've got me in your big, wide arms.
