Birthdays are Just Another Day of the Year

Yesterday I celebrated my 50th birthday. It felt like just another day to me. I went to the gym and came home sore. Then I spent a very quiet afternoon and evening. Many people wanted to make a big deal about it.

I guess it is a milestone in my life. After all, two years ago I was not sure if I would make it to 50. Or if I did, what kind of health I would be in. I was always out of breath back then and not able to walk much. I certainly did not have much energy. There were days when I felt like I was laying around waiting to die because I could not go anywhere on my own.

Now that I have lost 230 pounds, I have so much energy. God has blessed me with a new life. I can get around on my own. I feel like I can do anything I want. He has made me a new person inside and out. I thank Him everyday for the miracle He has worked in my life.

I have been a Christian since I was small. But I am now spending more time in His word finding out what that means. I feel that I have a better relationship with My Lord. I could not have achieved the success with my weight loss without Him.

So 50 is just a number, and April 30th is just another day of the year, but I am a Much Better Person. Maybe He will let me live another 50 years to I can get even Better! I KNOW HE IS NOT DONE WITH ME YET!
