It's Not About Me

Today I am 41.
I feel more alive today than ever, and my life is better than ever.
My circumstances may say:
I'm stressed out!
I need a break!
The economy stinks!
Someone dissed me!
My friend is hurting!
My neighbor is struggling!
There aren't enough hours in the day to get it all done!
I am exhausted!
I need some quiet time!
I need more money!
I need less debt!

I have so much to do!
I feel depressed, or anxious, or scared, or insane, or unnerved, (fill in your own word here)!

BUT despite my circumstances, my heart and my faith know:
peace that I can't explain and
joy that a person can only find ABOVE his/her circumstances.

This is who I am. This is what I believe.
And I believe it's all because of Jesus.

Sorry I missed your day. Hope it was a wonderful one. We're close in age. Hope it makes you feel better that I'll always be older. LOL
