Today is Tuesday April 8, 2014. In 154 days I will be 40 years old. That sounds a lot longer than five months. I'm definitely sticking to counting the days. I realized a few days ago that more and more often I'm noticing different changes in my body & accounting it to being "almost 40". I talk to myself 80% of the time so most of these entries are going to be conversations I've had with myself.
You may say, 'why Becoming 40? Don't you just wake up on your 40th birthday and you're 40?' No! You don't. Do you go to sleep when you're 10 and wake up 20 the next day? Do you go to sleep the day you find out you're pregnant and wake up the next day with a baby in your bed? No. You become 20. Your body develops that baby for nine months, and you become a mom.
For the last year, every month my body has been completely new to me. Literally, I wonder, 'what is it going to be this month!' Those of you who have reached the milestone of 30 and passed it, know what I am talking about. Things really start to change in your 30's. Well, my body is preparing for 40 & it is sending me on one heck of a ride.
This revelation dawned on me one morning while I was looking in the mirror (no female of age should look in the mirror before 12pm.) 'I am becoming 40', Not, 'I'm almost 40'. I am becoming 40. Then I started to think of my Soul(my mind, will, & emotions) it is part of me, is it becoming 40 also? Well I do think differently, I do make different decisions, I do feel differently, yes I believe it is becoming 40 also.
So, that gets me to where we are today. I'm going to start documenting my daily experiences up until my 40th birthday. I'll go ahead & warn you, these are "My" thoughts & I think about a lot of things. You may not want to refer your male friends to this blog, because they probably just wouldn't get it. I talk about my Ve-Jay-Jay, because me & God both know that it is definitely becoming 40! If you are a young chick & yours hasn't changed yet, well, bless your heart. If however you are over 35 or have had children, you know what I'm talking about(If you are over 35 and have given birth, than BLESS YOUR HEART, cause I know you've already stopped waxing that thing and just want to keep it hid!)
Boobs; Well that's a whole different topic....
Let me leave you with this, My devotion for today; Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Thought for the day(Joseph Prince); As you rest in God's strength, you will see His power manifesting in you life!
Whatever you are "Becoming" today, let God take you there. I thank God that I have the opportunity to Become 40, and thank God that he's getting me there in His strength, and His power.
