<\/a><\/p>\nThis Saturday, I officially turn 40. I use the term “turn” intentionally because I’ve been “pushing” 40 and, unfortunately,\u00a0it’s been pushing back pretty hard. I don’t think I want to “hit” 40 for fear of what might happen.<\/p>\n
I’ve spent the last three days in the hospital with acute sinusitis. Very painful ailment, I might add. Yes, one week<\/strong> before my 40th birthday. I guess I wanted to go out with a bang…or is that a wimper…defintely a moan or two.<\/p>\nI figure that I’ve gotten it out of my system and am ready to go ahead and\u00a0hit my 40s with a bang…and you better believe I’m gonna hit\u00a0that sucker\u00a0with everything I’ve got…gonna knock it out so it can’t return the favor.\u00a0 So, here’s to the 30’s: they taught me a lot, showed me many changes and gave me many wonderful opportunities.\u00a0 Both of my children were born during my 30s and they are a wonderful blessing.<\/p>\n
I actually look forward to my 40s.\u00a0 They’re a gift from God and, if it’s His good pleasure, I’ll make to say the same about my 50’s.\u00a0 Every good and every perfect gift comes from above, as the Scripture goes, so thank you, Lord, for the wonderful gift of turning…and hitting…40.<\/p>\n
…now bring it on!<\/p>\n
