35.
.
i turned 35 last week. It wasn't as painful as i thought it would be. It does feel monumental. Like time to cut the crap. A friend gave me a card on my birthday. At the bottom she wrote-" Zep. 3:17". It didn't ring a bell really. When we got home and unpacked from our roadtrip i got out my trusty study Bible and looked it up...
For the LORD yur God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song.
Zephaniah 3:17
WooHOO!!! (THANK YOU, Jude!) She had no knowledge of what i've been going through...and i just thought this is so like my God- the way He works, the way He speaks through people to me. This is my verse for the year. i will roll it around and meditate on it and gain deeper understanding from it.
i can't put words to all that is growing in me now but these two words have sprung up for my 35th year... LOVE SIMPLE.
i am cleaning out. Letting go. Giving things away right and left- and already i feel lighter...
everything the eight of us have will fit in the back of a truck. WEEeee!
As some of you know- Matt's Mom has been fighting cancer. She is really sick. She told us she wants everyone to pray that her doctors can find a drug that will slow down the progression of her cancer as there doesn't seem to be any cure at this point. Will you pray for her? - and Matt's Dad too, who is working hard taking such good care of her.
i have almost given up on blogging as you have seen- but i do update our Facebook page almost daily. Check it out.
So there it is~ the year of letting go, LOVE SIMPLE, givin' it all away, and Zephaniah 3:17...
