I officially turned 30 yesterday! I have to admit that I was not looking forward to this day, but when it came I survived....imagine that:) Seriously though I really did alot of thinking about my life and came to the conclusion that I believe that my 30's are going to be good! I am done having children that's a plus for me:) Now it's raising them....that's why I said my 30's would be good not great:) (remember I will have deal with raising teenagers) I definetly feel more stable now than in say the last 8 years or so. We are settled into a community that we like alot and have found careers that we enjoy (or don't dread going to every day) I find that another plus! The Lord has seen me through some more difficult times and has brought me through to the "sunshine" of the life I have. Remarkably I ended up with a very positive outlook on this decade that lays before me....Thank you Lord!

Ah!
I even said to Tim yesterday, it's Alli and Corin's birthday!!
I'm a schmuck!
Anyhoo, Happy Belated Birthday, dear sister! I hope you had a fun and marvelous day!
i remember being in my early 20's thinking i was supposed to be in my "best years" and bemoaning to my dad something to this effect..."if these are the best years of my life, the future looks awful!" His response was so hopefully. "Alli, I'm having the best time of my life and it just keeps getting better". I've held onto that statement and have experienced the same truth. Every decade has challenges (parenting has been my biggest to date) but as we continue to allow God to "complete His good work", it just keeps getting better.
Cheers to your thirties! I've been enjoying mine as my best decade yet! Happy mutual birthday!
Thanks for the encouraging words! I think dad's right I see my parents now and they seem to be having a great time too!
