countdown is getting shorter.....

4 days till the big 40!! and the funny thing is I am so tired out lately and emotional. I swear I cannot watch a TV show these days without crying.. Even some stupid reality show I really don't care a whole lot for--down go the tears. Hmmm... what's up with that?!

I think the hardest part of turning 40 is I am still single. Not that I am that chasing, never happy till I am in a relationship type girl, but I yearn for it every so often. Perhaps I will find him in the next 10 years eh?!? I joke to my friends that the only ones attracted to me are dogs(I mean the animal), kids, old men or guys that really need a momma. I am praying that if God wills it for my life, that I will be ready to recognize His plan when the time comes.

Enough about me. Christmas is coming---So much to do!!! Gifts to make, Gifts to buy, house to clean, tree to put up.. yikes!! oh well... Tis the season to be Jolly and to be grateful for the greatest gift of all JESUS!!!

<<<< blown away >>>>>

A friend said something today that gave me such a wonderful visual I just had to share...

"I may have been blown out of the water...but I landed in the arms of my Jesus. "

Wow, what an awesome thought that when we may be down or perhaps devasted, we can land in our heavenly father's arms. For us single gals, it is even more comforting to know that there is someone there to hear our cries and calm our fears. Yes, I have always known and trusted that the Lord was and is always there for me.. But never have I visualized it this way!! Do you get the picture here, not only is He there but He's holding me. He's my support, my uplifter, my "get you through this" person. Thank you Lord!!

Perhaps you are going through something today or you may have a friend that is struggling. Give them the encouragement that the Lord can be their comfort and support in their time of need!
