Birthday thoughts...

I have always been someone who is cautious. It is probably part of what God has used to keep me from "getting into trouble". I tend to not like change. I like routine and constancy. In fact I get frustrated when I am not consistent…which more than I would like to admit. Yet I am entering a new season and instead of looking at it as if there were a sign that said "CAUTION ADVENTURE AHEAD". I want have a sense of adventure. I want a curiosity to learn. I want to not be fearful. I need to relax and be able to laugh at myself more while being diligent about what is important. I can't go into all the details right now but I am in the midst of LOTS of changes. This birthday…I pray I will learn to be BOLD for the kingdom and FULL of faith. I want to be more adventurous and be able to laugh at myself. I want to love deeply, feel strongly and yet be grounded in what is true.
