Speed Limit: 35 years old

Well the Lord has blessed me with another year of life. I cannot believe I am 35 years old. Wow. When I was younger 35 sounded so old. Ha! To think I am the same age my parents were when I was in High School. Time flies! That scares me to death. At least I don't have any in High School, but I do have an 8, 3 and almost 8 month old. I know that my kids will be grown and gone before I know it, so I am going to slow down and enjoy what the Lord has given to me. I am blessed to be 35 and I know the best is yet to come. I have learned a lot during these past 35 years and have made plenty of mistakes but have also received many blessings. I am ready for the next chapter and season the Lord has in store for me.

I got a new laptop yesterday and am excited. I am venturing out to do some things I have always wanted to do: write a book, create videos and document my life going forward. I have always said I would write a journal and keep track of what is going on, but it never comes to fruition. I am going to begin writing about my life regularly and documenting what is going on and how God is moving. Today, on my birthday, Michele's brother Raymond called and announced they are expecting their first child. That is a wonderful present! Another blessing and gift of life. I am blessed to be sitting in the living room watching Sesame Street with the kids and watching Aiden learn to crawl. He is so close to scooting around the floor. My baby is growing up and will be walking before we know it. I am blessed to have had no job the last month and a half. It has allowed me to relax and regain my sanity. While I don't like the fact I don't have a job, I am glad I have had a chance to relax and spend some quality time with my family.

We enjoyed breakfast as a family at IHOP and even though the service was not good, we enjoyed our time together. It has already been a blessed birthday because I am home and with my family. God is good!

I am looking forward to the new season the Lord is preparing me for.
