26

It’s my birthday.

Another year older!

But this one just kind of snuck up on me. How is it already October 21?  The weather is still in the mid-30’s.  There are no colourful leaves.  Thanksgiving was kind of a blur. 

Which is probably for the better, really…birthdays always seem to make me sad.  Almost like a disappointment.  I forget that it’s just another day.  I don’t ever feel older, or wiser, because that doesn’t come with the number on your birth certificate.

I don’t want to be the centre of attention, but…I don’t want to be ignored, either. Does that make sense?  Who knows.

I feel like there’s something missing.

As though I should be in another realm, it seems.  But that just sounds crazy.  This world isn’t where I’m supposed to be, and I won’t ever feel completely complete until I’m with the One who created me.

But I am happy (to the point of dancing and jumping) to have such amazing and thoughtful friends, a great life, incredible experiences, a divine purpose, and countless blessings…God is truly faithful.

Amen!
