Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, today I turned 28 years old. The dreaded 30 is getting closer and closer. I really feel older today, but as I strain more and more just to get out of bed I know I'm aging. I never would have dreamed just a few short years ago where I'd be in life now. A wife, a beautiful little boy, a career.....wow, where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday I was a little kid without a care in the world! Sometimes I miss those care-free days, when all you had to worry about was school and who your girlfriend would be for the week. Now it's bills, health concerns, jobs, family, money.....you just can't seem to catch your breath anymore. For the last 3 weeks or so I've been doing my quiet time every morning. I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't read God's word regularly before then, but I'm trying to make it habit, and so far so good. The Lord has really been teaching me things as I've been reading in Matthew and I've enjoyed the time to spend with Him before I begin each day. Things like using my talents and gifts wisely, keeping my pride in check (Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, those who humble themselves will be exalted), and learning not to worry and to trust God. I highly recommend it to everyone!! But anyway, as I stumble through this long random post, just remember to try to keep life simple--don't let the everyday struggles get you down. The Lord will provide and bless those who seek after Him. Happy Birthday to Me!!

PS> Trey had his 6 month cardiology appointment yesterday. He was cleared for another 6 months and nothing had changed since his last appointment! Praise God!!

Until next time...
