5k's and Birthdays

I'm 28 today. This is to clear everything up for those of you who thought I was actually turning 40. But it is just around the corner. I was supposed to run a 5k a few weeks ago but wasn't able to so last night I unofficially ran it on my own. The next step is an 8k in November than from there time will only tell. Anyway, I was thinking of all the places I've spent my last few birthdays and I realized what an amazing, blessed life I've been able to live so far. I've seen so many places, met so many interesting people, and I'm married to an amazing woman. I definitely don't have anything to complain about. God has been so good to me and has allowed me to be a part of His greater plan in such a unique way and I am so thankful. To Him be all the glory! I was just praying on my drive to work that this next year would be a year of growing in Him, loving His word even more, that I would learn to be more patient, serving, and loving. That I would be faithful to the things He has called me to. That I would be an excellent, loving husband. That this next year would truly bring glory to God. Based on my erratic placements for the last few birthdays, I have no idea where I'll be next year. Maybe I'll still be in California, maybe Uganda again, maybe somewhere completely different like Alaska or Ethiopia. I am so thankful for all of you, my friends who have played such a valuable part in my life and of shaping who I am today. Thanks for everything. And a special thanks to Jenny, our first birthday celebration together, I look forward to many more together, I love you.
So, here's to 28 years of life, and here I come 40!
