ANOTHER YEAR OLDER!

Yes, I am another year older.  I am now labeled "mid to late 30s".  Do I feel older, in some ways yes and in some ways no.  I don't feel like I look any older and I don't feel any older, but my thought process is maturing.  I don't just do things nowadays, I think about what I'm doing and what the results or consequences are.  I also have grown in my walk with God, he has taught me so much in the last few years, I couldn't begin to go through everything.  The biggest thing is patience.  I have become more patient with others, especially with J and his missions with the Army.  I remember when he told me a couple of years ago that he would have to go back on active duty.  The first thing that I did was pray for patience and understanding.  You see the 1st time he was on active duty I was not the most patient person and I was definitely not understanding.  And God has sure answered my prayers.  To date, my pitching fits has been minimal and J and I are more understanding of each others feelings.  So therefore, I have grown in that aspect of my life.  There are a ton more examples that I could give but then I'd be babbling.  So onto the fun part of my birthday, Wednesday was my birthday and was fairly uneventful, but J and I had a nice time yesterday.  I asked to go to the zoo here in town for my birthday outing and of course he being the good husband that he is we went.  Along with everyone else in this city obviously!  But all in all, we had a great time and I got some great photos.  

Blessings,
