Sojourner Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 was my birthday. I am now officially 28 years old. :cheer: Some reflections on being 28: As I was getting ready yesterday morning, I looked in the mirror and was suddenly struck by a semi-funny thought. If someone had told me at 13 that I'd still have zits and no boyfriend at 28, I probably would have killed myself, because at 13 nothing really seemed more important than boys and a clear complexion. I suppose that's why God doesn't allow us to see the future -- we aren't ready to handle things now that we will be able to handle 15 years down the road. I have a rich, full, life. It's not perfect, for sure, but God has given me many blessings -- and the eyes to see that these things are indeed blessings. Woo hoo!
livingHimloud Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 happy belated birthday and good work having such a clear and focused mind! what better birthday gift could God give you than that insight? you are growing wise. i'm totally jealous!
theculturewarrior Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Amen. Except the part about not having a boyfriend. :angry: I guess it's over then? Let me guess, it's not me...it's you...tell me something I don't know. Welcome back, and happy birthday.
Sojourner Posted October 22, 2004 Author Posted October 22, 2004 You've never been my boyfriend, silly. We just flirt online occasionally. And thanks for the birthday wishes.

azaelia Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Yaay! Sojourner's back! :cheer: Happy Belated Birthday! :balloons:
Sojourner Posted October 22, 2004 Author Posted October 22, 2004 Thanks for all the birthday wishes, peeps. I just want to say that I now regret naming this thread "Yesterday" because now I have the Beatles song stuck in my head ...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I thought this thread would break into song singing "Yesterday" by the Beatles... "Yesterday... All my troubles seemed so far away..."
Sojourner Posted October 22, 2004 Author Posted October 22, 2004 "Now it seems as though they're here to stay ... Oh I believe in yesterday. Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be ..."
azaelia Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 "There's a shadow hanging over me, Oh yesterday came suddenly... Why she had to go I don't know She wouldn't say I said something wrong Now I long for yesterdaaa-aaay..."
