30 years of LIFE

Today I turned 30!

30

THIRTY

3 Tens & 0 Ones

30 years of life

I've never thought twice or cared about turning another year older until today. 

A part of me wants to scream and tell time to STOP because there is so much more I've

 dreamed,

 planned,

 and imagined,

 for my life by the time I would be 30...

and yet it's different than what I thought. 

What a lesson I am learning from my Heavenly Father who

knows

me

better

than

I

know

myself.

He says, Cindy,

 "My plans are not your plans,

but if you

 seek me

 with

all

 of your

heart

 you will find

me."

"Only there will you find

peace

rest

joy

satisfaction

and

LIFE."

My response can only be, "Yes, Lord, I will seek you."

"There is no place I would rather be than in your will and presence."

So, as I enter into my 30's I will wait on the Lord and watch His beautiful plans unfold for my life. 

Thank you Jesus for how LOVED you have made me feel today. 

I have such a loving husband who has surprised me with gifts and a sweet lunch in my classroom.

My parents surprised me with a cake and flowers at school.  It was wonderful knowing they were reminiscing about what a "wonderful surprise" I was 30 years ago.

My wonderful team at school made me feel so special with a card and balloons.

A sweet co-worker left a cupcake on my desk.

A card from my family in Austin arrived in the mail and truly blessed me.

Texts and phone calls galore wishing me a happy birthday.

Thank you Lord for all these gifts today!
