I wanted to thank everyone for their Birthday wishes. I did have a wonderful Birthday indeed. I felt special and Loved by everyone and I had a great weekend too:) my mom, sister, and I spent the weekend together and we had a Fun time making memories. I have to be perfectly honest and say that when I first woke up and pondered that I am now 29 today and that this is my final year in my twenties I was somewhat depressed. I may feel like a spring chicken but the reality is I am not anymore:( I also thought about I am not where I thought I would be as I thought I would of accomplished so much more as far as education & life Goals but than again I am reminded that I am Exactly where I am suppose to be which is in the Will of God & thats the best place to be. I am also reminded of how bless I truly am. I have accomplished a lot considering the hand I been dealt & the adversity I had to overcome as well as the tragedy & deaths of my twin, my mother, and father all during my early 20s Yet I still manage to build a house, raise my daughter & niece on my own and not go Crazy and of course become a married women...all these changes I faced within my twenties so I should cut my self some slack and realized that my other dreams and life Goals are still attainable I just had plenty of obstacles and side tracks along the way. That my best years are yet to come and God is not finished with me yet! After at first feeling those depressive thoughts I decided to spend my morning with my best friend with coffee and worship to uplift my spirits and start my 29th year off right. So, God and me enjoyed some much needed fellowship. Afterwards, its a Sunday so off to my church I went. The worship was great and the word was just what I needed to hear because I needed a reminder that God loves me and is still working in my life though I yet to have those dearly missed Burning bushes experiences. Its been awhile it seems since I felt his touch but than I try and remind myself I walk by faith & not by sight or even feelings. Of course God knows how needy & demanding I can be and stills reminds me of his unfailing Love like today, I love that about him. He knew I needed a reminder of his love and thru-out the day revealed his Love and orchestrated the day perfectly as a reminder:) After church, I had a lovely lunch with my family & friends at Olive Garden. My Aunt Peggy then decided to take me & the girls on our annual Birthday shopping trip because we all know my son Brayden was not thrilled to hit the mall. My aunt blessed me with some stylish outfits that made me feel like a Diva and happy to be my age & of course my girls with some fun stuff too. Oh, and of course Brayden too as she bought him some new books that just made his day. It also gave us a wonderful opportunity to snuggle & bond while reading to him. There is just something about the smell of a new book that brings back my favorite childhood memories. My dear Aunt Peggy was the lady who though a busy lawyer took the time to teach me to read. Ill forever cherish those sweet childhood memories of laying close to her and her listening to me as I broke apart the English language. Yet it will forever be etched in my heart along with her lullabies, back-rubs, and time spent together. I know I am lucky to have an Aunt Peggy in my life. You know in my life and especially as a child their are countless stories and memories of foster parents and others who have tried to make me feel forgotten, overlooked, or less than BUT my aunt Peggy has done a great job of making me feel Special & celebrated AND I love her for that because everyone deserves to feel like someone cares & loves them. I had a great day and the icing on the cake was having my daughter Arista give me an 30 min neck, head, back, and foot massage. I can say she my daughter because sometimes you dont have to be a birth mother to be a mother I am reminded of this truth after spending the weekend with my mom Theresa Palmer Loustaunau and Margaret Woodward. Feeling overwhelming Bless thanks everyone for the Birthday calls, posts, and texts:-D
