I cannott believe tomorrow I turn 27 years old.

The little girl wearing a slip and a straw hat romping through the backyard throwing feed to the chickens,

the one washing the face of her German- made babydoll feels not so far from me at all, still I know that girl still so well

I have to remind myself that i'm not so little anymore. I really do wonder sometimes how i got to be where I am today. So 27.

It's about the time I want to push pause on the remote of life.

But I know that life, its just going to get better, {which is hard to believe}, yet i know it's true.

My God says " Glory to GLORY", and I believe Him.

When life is as good as mine, its difficult to fathom there is a future that gets better.

I'm so thankful for the path I have chosen and the opportunities I have been given to choose it.

I'm constantly humbled that I have been given the chance to know Jesus, which is why i guess in many ways  why i've devoted my life to giving others that chance who may not otherwise have be handed it as I was.

At this moment I'm listening to one of my favorite worship songs as I type

the lyrics are

"Come away with me

I have a plan for you its going to be wild

its going to  be great

its going to be Fun.

open up your heart and let me in"

Here is how I concluded the week of my 26th  'wild, great, fun' year- ah what an adventure, and theres more where that came from!
