Along the theme of Jesus' birth, I (Katie) am celebrating 30 years of life with thankfulness. What a time to be alive! We have the peace that Christ brings through His life, death, and resurrection. And we have the hope of His coming back to redeem the world. I still can't comprehend very much how I am a child of God, that I matter to God...that He knows every hair on my head (even the few grey ones). I can't belive God is the Creator of the universe yet wants to hang out with me every day. My only prayer is that I would be able to take the time to be with my Savior every day He gives me. My body may be getting older but my spirit is growing closer to Jesus, stronger, more victorious, more beautiful in His eyes, only because of what He has already done for me. What a great truth. And what an amazing message to share with the world. Seeing my 30th birthday in this light definitely helps me overcome any fears of being "old". This is one happy wife of the most patient and loving husband, mother of the two cutest, funniest girls, and daughter of the Most High.
My girls helping me open my present. Yes, it was Tupperware! And I thought it was super cool! Maybe that is another clue that I am 30. :)
