(Sarah): oh mylanta! What a day! Yall really know how to help a PYT bring on her nerdy 30s! My heart is full of joy & memories of my journey thus far! I have encountered many experiences on this path ( some of which were of my choosing-good & poor choosing, but WELL LESSONED LEARNED; & some were choices that were out of my control.) Its amazing & puts me in awe of how great God is. For those of you who know me & how I got to this point, you cannot tell me that we serve a loving, dependable, sacrificial, forgiving, teaching, protecting, providing, merciful, knowing God! He has been all of these things to me! And the greatest has been His unconditional love. Going on about 2 years now, I have been on this crazy revealing realization about myself. Its been a growing pain for me & those around me. I hate it to be honest. God sees what is ahead, so I am finally learning to try & trust Him. I have not been the friendliest, kindest, nor selfless person in the past- along with other characteristics that I could go on & on. BUT GOD!- He says I am holy. He says I am free. I am wanted! And that I CAN by His strength! Luckily God gave me you who has made it all the way done to this point of this status! Family & true friends( who care about your well-being & able to encourage to choose right: show me your friends & Ill show you your future. Dave Brown) is one of the best blessings He could give. Without the support of my family, my friends, my church, & Jesus- I hate to admit the truth, but there would not be a Sarah celebrating her 30th today! This is a small mild stone that I have approached today, but I faced it forward & with a smile on my face. No one can take this joy that I have. I have control over how I want to feel. No one is like me, nor am I like anyone else. I cannot compare to anyone unless I am willing to walk in their shoes. I may think that someone elses life may seem easier, but I have to remind myself that God does not put any more on our plate than what we can handle. So obviously what you went through did not kill, so should make you stronger. He gave you a testimony that is yours to live, not me. So envying someone else or comparing is deadly- stay clear! With us celebrating the season of thanksgiving: I am thankful for my life! It is not the perfect glamorous life, but its mine! Everyday is a brand new chance to live to the fullest with no regrets! To smile & have peace surround you. Only GOD, FAMILY, & FRIENDS can do that. Thank you for the birthday wishes, thank you Lord for your sacrifice, & thank you loved ones for the memories! Heres to my next 30 years! Xoxo!
