28 is gonna be great! That is my slogan for the new year of my life that starts today. That is right...today is my Birthday! I am not gonna lie....it is not easy entering into the downword slope toward 30 :).......BUT I want to see the glass half full not empty. I am sure people that are older than me will think I am over-reacting....but your late-twenties is something you never think you are gonna reach. :) When I was in high school....30 seemed so far away. That is not my reality anymore. haha! Having the privilege to work with students makes the reality of being "older" more obvious. It is just something I think about more because I am around younger people all the time. Maybe if I hung around my age group more, it wouldnt be that big of a deal. Sooo.....I have decided to embrace 28 and make it great! There is a lot to look forward to in this new year already....Israel in August, High-school reunion in October, and my best friend from childhood's wedding in June 07 (she asked me to be the Maid of Honor! Aww!). So already 28 looks bright. I want this year to be marked with great God times and great times with friends. I want to walk in faith that my best days are ahead of me. I am actually excited....which is a God-thing! Well.....28 here I am......get ready.... cause it is gonna be a great ride! Happy Birthday to me! Thank you God for allowing me to make it this far.....have your will in my life this year.

Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
