Today is my 33rd birthday and I feel so blessed it's ridiculous. I am beyond happy with my husband, my girls, my city, even the building I live in. The mothers in this building have taken me in and we have formed such a special group. We had drinks on the roof at 6:30pm today, and we all showed up: some with kids, some without, but all were there with wine to celebrate my special day.
I also feel blessed in my personal journey. I alluded to some news recently, and I am finally ready to share it. I am currently attending New York Theological Seminary, in the process of obtaining my Masters' of Divinity. I was hesitant to share because I had basically been accepted but they were still waiting on one letter of recommendation...I didn't want to jinx anything by announcing too soon. But I have officially started class and I couldn't be more excited. I will be honest: I don't know exactly what God is calling me to do. But I know that I have been called to seminary and that God will reveal more when He is good and ready.
I still miss my mom more than anything in the world. But other than that, my life is full of more joy than I ever thought possible. I hope I treat this joy with the respect it deserves, and that I am a conduit for joy in other people's lives. I am grateful for the day I was born.
