35 years have passed. Oh how time flies.
I was once a little girl who loved to read books, play the piano and play "house" with my Barbie dolls. Then I became an adolescent who was preoccupied with studying to finish college, romance and fashion. I was a shopaholic. And then I had to "grow up" and deal with responsibilities, businesses and everything it takes to build a career. I've had my ups and downs. Life was not perfect but I wouldn't have it any other way.
It took a lot of painful disciplining and pruning to make me realize that at the end of the day, my relationship with God is all that matters in this world. That my family is a gift from God and they should always come first next to God. That it is both a privilege and joy to be enabled by the Holy Spirit to have a career and work. That my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and for that very reason, I should take good care of it. That it is God who gives me the ability to produce wealth and it is His will that I be forever blessed in any circumstance so that through me, may these blessings overflow to others for His glory. That I should value the gift of relationships with people who bring me closer to Jesus.
The fullness of love, joy and peace can only be truly experienced with an encounter with my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:11-13
I spent my 35th birthday with my family and some inner circle friends at a mountain resort. |
Spent the last 2 nights of my birthday weekend relaxing in this hotel spa. |
