On Turning 30

It's a strange occurrence - hitting one of those legendary mile markers in life. I turned 30 yesterday. This 'entree into my fourth decade of living on planet earth has afforded me an opportunity to reflect deeply (or at least more than usual) on my life. Specifically: where I'm headed; if I'm pleased about that direction; how it affects those who love me most and what choices I need to make now to correct any directional discrepancies. There's a lot there but it's all good stuff. I guess it can be simplified to a personal inventory of what makes Shane, Shane and if that's consistent with the Shane that God says I'm becoming. Overall, I am grateful for the run of thirty years God has developed me through, I'm content with where He's brought my family and I now and I'm very excited about the adventure that He's laying out ahead of us. God is so very, very good! So here's to what's left of my time on earth (before this body's food for worms) - doing what God has called me to, with people I love - through the joy and the pain of it . . forward we go! Peace to you wherever you find yourself this day.
