Just The Way I Like It

It was the simplest celebration I did for myself. As simple as it may appear, but it was a very special one ~ just the way I like my day to end. So, it was the night of my birthday when I went out alone to my favorite coffee shop immediately after work.

I knew exactly what to do. I took out my journal and wrote those things running through my head. I wrote prayers and thoughts in a speed of light! I was just flowing with thoughts that my hand needed to take a double time just to catch up.

Here is but a few of those thoughts ~ thoughts that I am willing to share with you:

"... LORD, You remained faithful, kept me sane, cheered me on, lifted me up... You have been my Constant Companion ... If there is something I could utterly wish or pray for, it is that I will continue to dream big dreams and, that I will see things differently ~ that I will see things the way You want me to see them.

Whatever the next 365 days will give and bring, I pray that by Your grace I will be able to stand the test of time and of faith. I pray that I will continue to go on and will remain faithful to You as You are to me.

If time comes that I need to go beyond borders and take risks, it is my prayer that I will so ever cling to You, consult You, and take Your counsel ~ if it's a stop or go, yes or no. Make my heart stronger, my speech bolder, and mind clearer.

Thank You, my dearest Lord for the gift of Your faithfulness... I want to grow more in love with You and walk in Your wisdom more and more each day.

Amen."

Time for my pasta and coffee.
Happy birthday to me!
I am happy to be 30
~ celebrated just the way I like it. :)
