🌻35🌻
When I realized that my birthday fell on a Sunday this year, I was excited. Spending the morning at Church, worshipping and in fellowship, with my husband by my side. And then an afternoon reading and floating in the pool, followed by my family coming over for spaghetti dinner and cake. In my eyes, it's the perfect day.
I am also like, who am I?
I chuckle thinking about how even just 6 months ago, if someone told me I would spend my birthday like this, I would have been filled with disbelief and laughed at them. Like, ya, okay!
I gave my heart to Jesus in January, was baptized in water in May, a year ago I would have never imagined the path I am on now. We think we know where we are heading, who we are, what we believe in, what our purpose is, but then God can come along and shake all that up!
God has changed me in ways I never even thought possible. I don't even have words for the joy and peace I feel. There's freedom, comfort and a love like no other.
"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!"
2 Corinthians 5:17
I sit here in awe and wonder on my born-again birthday of what God has planned for this 35th trip around the sun.
