Another June 6th has come and gone, and for this ex-birthday boy, it means another year until my ’special’ day. This year was an interesting year as my b-day came on 6/6/06…yes 666. I am a lucky winner of the superstitious birthday date this year. I think that this even beats having a b-day on a Friday the 13th. (both of these numbers bear equally over exaggerated significance in my book!)
This last year has a been an incredible year. A year spent living cross-culturally. A year spent doing a new way of church. A year of a lot of self-assesment. A year of God defining and refining what my life is about. I think that I have learned more about myself this year than any other time. My journey within myself has gone through a lot.
It’s looking like my 28th year on this planet will be no different than the last: full of change and growth. Some time in November we will be ushering into life our first baby. Everybody says that it will change our lives like we can’t be prepared for. I’m sure it will…I am excited for all of these things…each year is a new adventure that is the same, but yet different from the last year.
28? Are you sure you’re 28? I’ve been telling everyone 27!!! What a wonderful way to spend a year of adulthood..in a foreign country, learning the language, the people and sharing the gospel of Christ! What a wonderful work He’s called you to!
Just to clarify…I think that i’m technically starting my 28th year, but I am 27 years old. So Christine, you were right too…It’s a win win.
