🎂 Tomorrow, I turn 40…
And I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that sentence.
Because I can still vividly remember my dad turning 40.
We threw him an “OVER THE HILL” party. 😂 Forty seemed so OLD.
And now… somehow… I’M THERE.
How did that happen so fast?
A few days ago, I told a friend I was feeling a little sad about closing the chapter on my 30s. 😢 Bittersweet, really.
She looked at me and said:
“Bekah, just think about ALL you’ve done and ALL you’ve seen.”
➡️ And that stopped me in my tracks.
Because right before I turned 30, I nearly died giving birth to our first child.
I entered my 30s having come face-to-face with just how fragile life can be.
But God has redeemed the time. 🕰️
He healed me.
And then He gave me 10 more years.
10 more years of life.
3 more children.
A new home.
Multiple businesses.
More time freedom.
And more blessings than I could ever count.
When I think about it that way, turning 40 doesn’t feel like something to mourn.
It feels like a gift. 🎁
We aren’t promised tomorrow, and the older I get, the more I understand just how precious an ordinary day really is.
I heard someone say once that “age is a mindset.”
So I’m choosing to walk into 40 with joy, gratitude, and expectation for what God has in store for this next decade. 🙏
And just in case anyone is concerned about this whole “over the hill” thing…
I just got the green light at my postpartum doctor’s appointment to swim again.
And four kids and almost 40 years later, I can still do a flip. 😂🙌
So I’d say we’re doing just fine over here (maybe just a little crazy to post a picture of myself on LinkedIn in my bathing suit).
Cheers to 40! 🥂
I’m so grateful I get to be here.
