I can totally relate. What was hard for me about 40 was that I never had pictured life past 40 being single with no children. And so I realized that I was stuck because my vision for my life hadn't happened, and I had no vision for past 40. We were at the fall retreat, and I was watching the students sing praise and worship songs around the bonfire. And it hit me that they have their whole lives ahead of them, they have dreams of what will happen. But I had no vision or dream anymore. I realized I had to come up with a new one, of life past 40 as a single. Of course the Lord already knew what that was, but for me, I had to find a way to come up with appealing pictures of the future. I trust He is doing that for you. I would have never guessed in a million years on my 40th birthday what the last 9 years and 9 months would hold. Marriage, two ministry changes, and more. Looking forward to seeing what He has planned for you ahead!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447344054829653245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064422257672715537.post-29035084300046041242015-01-09T08:22:26.859-05:002015-01-09T08:22:26.859-05:00Mine was a while back.

It was our last night, and I had just finished a nice swim in one of the hotel's quieter pools. My mom and I got into the elevator with another man who was about 30 or so, who I think had been in the hot tub, when the elevator stops two floors later. These two elderly gentlemen, who could have been Waldorf and Staler's body doubles, get in the elevator. They look at me still dripping wet from the pool, look at the younger gentleman, and proceed to ask exactly what were we doing in the pool. They then made the comment that they didn't think that we had been swimming, that we had been doing something else. One of the older heehaws asked the gentleman if I was a "fiesty-young-thing" because I looked it, and that if he had been 30 years younger I would have been in trouble. The dude just smiled! <br /><br />Y'all my MOTHER was right there the whole time and she said NOTHING..... I don't think she remembers this. I just remember being mortified!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16789547593161507464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064422257672715537.post-51712914877004540112015-01-09T00:44:31.064-05:002015-01-09T00:44:31.064-05:00That time a homeless man sketched my face in detai...That time a homeless man sketched my face in detail from across the room...then presented it to my boyfriend and me.

I mean who loves the constant sweating? I have really thick, dark hair and ghostly white skin that burns easily. It's a nightmare. Also my dark hair grows really fast, so let's not event talk about shaving. I might as well just wear jeans though, because with more or less clothes, I will still be sweating profusely.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00374586629502175461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064422257672715537.post-47406049996542129092014-09-22T19:57:42.715-04:002014-09-22T19:57:42.715-04:00Preach.

The desire for relationships is part of our very fiber. This is why one of the most severe punishments is isolation without other human interaction. This isolation can drive people to madness. An illustration of this was in the movie Castaway. Tom Hanks character almost died trying to save “Wilson” (a volleyball), because he had created a “relationship” with it.<br /><br />Once again, great article, and I am glad to call you my friend.
