Tomorrow I will (God-willing) wake up and be 31 years old, and I will be completely happy about it! Over the course of the last few weeks, I have been realizing a feeling of contentment. I'm sure that this is a feeling that God has been trying to lay on me for years and years of my life, but I am so stubborn that I just wouldn't let it in. I couldn't wait for the day that getting a bigger house, complete with my dream kitchen, plenty of space to entertain family and friends (and don't forget the mud room!) would be a real possibility in my life. I couldn't wait for Maddie to be out of diapers so that we could have another child. I wanted to be thin again. I wanted to have a new car, rather than driving my husband's '96 Chevy Silverado that guzzles gas faster than Maddie chugs her milk every morning. But now, I don't know how it happened but I praise God that it did, I will go to bed tonight with a feeling of aaaaaaahhhhhhh...
This feeling of contentment, of wanting what I have rather than wanting something more, is truly amazing. It is the greatest birthday present ever!
