i can not believe it has been ten whole years since i was depressed about turning thirty? what the heck was i thinking?!? actually today is my 40th birthday, and rather than feeling depressed or 'old', i am feeling so energized and blessed.

i can honestly say that overall i am more confident and self-secure than i have ever felt in my life. not sure if that comes with realizing that no one is perfect and to accept your flaws as a part of life, or if its just caring less about what others think, and more about knowing who we are. i also think a huge part of my confidence is attributed to feeling like i am where God needs me to be. For so long, i prayed for things i wanted and thought i needed. now, i just pray to stay in His will.

Hope you all have a blessed day! deb
