celebrating life ...

this weekend, john and i celebrated my 30th birthday by inviting our close friends over to grill out and relax. for me, it was a bit bittersweet. don't misunderstand - i am looking forward to my 30's. i feel that i have reached a major milestone in my life. i feel that i will have a newfound respect from people who are older than me. but more importantly, i feel that i am coming into my own. my skin is feeling a bit more comfortable to wear. the weight and power i have always given to the opinions of others seems a little less ... well, weighty. i feel more alive than i ever have. and in all my years, i have never felt the full power, love, and beauty of the Spirit of God surrounding me as i do today.

to all of you who joined us - and to those who were there in spirit - thank you for bearing witness to the work of God in my life and for being the manifestation of Jesus Himself to me in so many different ways. my heart is full of love for you.

i couldn't get my pics to post, so if you want to see some, check out both sabrina's and addison's blogs. they have some great ones posted there.
