I was up late last night reading my bible. Strange thing, the alarm clock went off at midnight. (I was born later in the morning)lol.
Anyway, I put down the scriptures and thanked God for a good 26 yrs and let him know that I am looking forward to another 26. :)

Happy Birthday. You will be 30 before you know it, then 35, then 40. Enjoy your youth while you can, Bro. Have as much fun as you can without getting into trouble with the law and God! :)

Yah, 25 went by way too fast..

I really enjoyed my late 20s. Early to mid 30s were cool too. Being over 40 isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I don't really like it much. This weight is taking a toll on my body, my hair and beard are growing gray, and I sometimes find myself wishing I had made other choices when I was younger. I do like that fact that I am about 10 years away from having all of my children grown though. Life sure goes by quick, Bro. Find yourself a good woman and a career you really enjoy. Your choices start to get limited in both areas as you get older. :)

Thing is, I'm only now starting to live. When I was 21, approaching 22, I died. In my prime I sank into a deep hole.
Anyway, it's good to be alive again. :)

I was married very young, had kids right away. By the time I was 25, I had a husband, two kids, a mortgage and a car payment. On my 25th birthday I cried. I told my husband that while I wouldn't trade anything in my life, I felt like I had wasted my youth.
All of my friends were just getting married, or having babies, and here I was, an old lady. So I told him that say that before I turned 30, I had to do something really crazy to prove to myself that I was still young and fun.

->->->->->->->-> fast forward 4 years and 51 weeks...

The week before my 30th birthday, My husband said "remember your 25th birthday, when you cried". Until he mentioned it, I hadn't. He said "you said you wanted to do something REALLY crazy, well you are going to".
My response was, "But I changed my mind about getting a tatoo!"
His response was, "it's not a tatoo"

IF YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT IT WAS, CHECK MY AVATAR!


Thankfully, I grew up and realized that I am not old (eventhough I am almost 10 years older than the birthday when I cried), I am enjoying life, and I have to say THESE are the best years so far, but I am looking forward to many more great ones to come.

It wasn't anything like I imagined. I thought it was going to be an adreniline rush (like a roller coaster), instead it was the most peaceful thing I have ever done. Well the one minute free fall was intense, but after the 'chute was pulled it was like flying, no sound... Just quiet scenery. Fantastic!!! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Bro. Berkeley,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Yes, the best is yet to come. You are not waiting until
the end of your years to regret the "wasted" years. Sitting up late to read
the Word of God and then to be thankful for the good 26 yrs. He has already
given you. That's a very good way to start the next 26, Bro. Berkeley!


Proverbs 3:5-7:

"Trust in the LORD with ALL your heart and lean not unto thine own under-
standing. In ALL thy ways acknowledge Him and He WILL direct thy path.
"Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil"

May you be led by the Spirit all the days of your life.

Blessings,

Falla39
