Thankful Thursday #6- Turning 28



Year 2010, this is the year where the 1982 babies like me turn 28.Tomorrow I am officially embracing my own "another special years" of existence here on earth. First I just want to extend my gratitude to God, to my loving family, friends, church mates and to the man I love for being so supportive to me and for being always there even if I’m far away from home....I’m getting dramatic here...I just want to say thank you for everyone!!! My life will not be as colorful and as meaningful without them in this entire world.



I can share some of my thoughts about turning 28. When I was young and I thought I’d never get to live past the age of 18. I also thought then that those in their 20's were so mature and responsible already. It was difficult to see myself growing into something like them, even at this stage of my life I think I’ll never grow into something like them. While I’m aware that I’m expected to carry out certain responsibilities and behave accordingly and I don't see myself doing things like the rest does.


While I’m willing to let go of my childish tendencies and I cannot see myself giving up my child-like qualities but at times I really need to. I want to run around and pursue thrills and keep being inspired and be forever curious about the things around me and enjoy other things for the glory of God. I want my life to be meaningful and have direction. I thanked God He had backed me up. I am enjoying my life right now no worries, no hassles for being single at this point of my life. But then I am also using this time to think clearly about the options. It is the time to think about responsibilities and duties as a daughter, a sister and a friend. On this phase of my life I know there is one thing out there that I’d like to do and I meant to do. It is running the race until I see Jesus face to face.


Yes, there’s no rush, I am enjoying my life by being in love with the Lord, and the important thing is to live and serving God and living for His glory. Turning 28 is a time for contemplation. It is also a time for celebration. So I really wanted to live a life with holiness and righteousness through Christ.
