Love this perspective, Sarah. The 40s were great. I started a business when I was 52 (sold it after 17 years) and now in my 70s. Every single decade brings joys and sorrows, but every day with the Lord brings me greater insight and gratitude. Enjoy your 40s.
I was reared in the Catholic church, LeeAnn, and never really read the Bible. When I met Jesus Christ and accepted him as my Savior I began reading the Bible and it started to make sense to me.
