48 is Fabulous

In a few hours, I will be a Fabulous 48 years young. As usual, I've looked back over the past year, and I can't do anything but praise God. I'm so thankful for His Presence in my life. This year had its ups and downs, heartaches, losses, wins, and most important,  lessons with blessings. I haven't always been faithful but God has. I'm grateful for every ache and pain as well as every trial. Those things remind me that I'm here and He still has a destiny for me to fulfill. The year has also reminded me to evaluate my audience. Playtime is over and when you have real life issues, you need real friends-the ones that dig deep, challenge, convict and pray on your behalf.  There were some days, the only place I could turn was to Jesus. Now that is a reality check we all need. 

I'm looking ahead to what this year will bring. I'm up for the mountaintop experiences and will pray that I have the fortitude for those that send me into the valley. So many times This year I've asked God why He trusts me with so much but this year, I'm going to leave that question behind and trust the process. Whatever He has for me, is mine. No matter how difficult things seem, I know He's there and He's equipping me for something. 

The 40s are liberating in many ways. I love me more than ever-yes, flaws and all. I'm unapologetic about staying true to my values. I'm happy to remind you that I and you are a continuous work in progress. At this point, the opinion of others is pretty much irrelevant. Some friends are closer than family-so no, blood isn't always thicker than water. Some people's seasons simply end. Drama should be saved for anyone but me. I need to see a whole lot of places, so my passport must be renewed. Praying God sends some interesting men my way or opens my mind to dating in this day and age. I am comfortable in my skin...and following God's plan for my life. Embracing the life that I'm living right now even though it may not be the life I imagined. All that being said..in the words of my earthly father, "Life to the fullest, no regrets!" Happy Fabulous 48th Birthday to me! 

 

In Diva Love,
