Thursday, I turned 40.
Yep... "The Big Four-Oh."
For some reason, I was really looking forward to 40. 30 wasn't a downer for me (like a lot of people I know), & 20 was no big deal. I don't remember being excited about a "milestone" birthday since I was 16.
For some reason, I have a real sense of expectancy with this birthday. I was talking with Jen that night when a thought occurred to me: the number 40 is a time of testing throughout the Bible--Moses was in the desert 40 years & on the mountain 40 days (twice, back-to-back!), and Jesus had 40 days in the wilderness.
And I've had 40 years on this earth.
My friends that have experienced their 40s say they are/were some of their best years... I'm looking forward to finding out for myself!
