It’s Official….I’m 30
Yes, it has happened. I’m not sure how, but I am officially the big 3-0. It’s amazing when you’re growing up, you think you know exactly how your life will be when you are 30….married, a couple kids, completely settled into your life, and just cruising through life. Wow! Wasn’t I wrong?!?!
But, I do have a lot to be thankful though:
* Amazing parents and step-parents
* Great siblings and step-siblings
* The world’s best nephew
* An amazing guy who loves me regardless!
* 2 little boys who have brought so much joy to my life (and probably a few gray hairs, but you’ll never know it!)
* A job (and in today’s economy, that is something to be thankful for!)
* A wonderful home
* Great extended family & friends
* My health and the ability to do what I love (RUN!)
While all of this is great, nothing compare to my LORD who has given it all to me and blessed me beyond belief this year. I can’t wait to see what he has in store for me from now until 31!

Since I turned 30, I have: permanently left the only line of work I ever really wanted to do, worked for two other employers since then, gone from being a father of one to a father of two, lived at seven different addresses (including living with my brother for a few weeks & my in-laws for three months), gotten a cracked rib, a hernia and a couple other things that put me in the hospital for 17 days.
The unexpected has just begun for you. There’s nothing wrong with making plans but be as prepared as possible for anything.
