Tomorrow I turn 50 years old.
I will celebrate with friends at a party that night, and later…I will celebrate in private with my husband.
I can’t help but think just how far I have come in the last few years. It used to be that if a birthday or anniversary rolled around, I knew I’d better get myself ready and psych myself up because we’d probably have sex that night. I think sometimes I was probably so nervous about it, that I didn’t enjoy the other festivities too much.
Anyway, I thank God that I now understand and desire this gift of sex that God gave us. I thank God that He has healed me from past baggage and lies that I had allowed to affect my marriage. I thank God that I have a patient husband, that was willing to love me even when I did not love him well, and that he has grown with me on this journey.
So this week, celebrate how far you have come. Think back to how things were and thank God for being with you every step of the way. Thank your husband for walking with you and celebrate together the amazing connection that God has given you.

Happy birthday! I hope you have a great time in both celebrations. I know that thanks to your class and challenges that I have gotten more celebratory instead of dreading the times I connect with my husband. Thank you for opening my eyes to the beauty of the gift that God created for a husband and wife.
