Act Your Age
By Sarah (Living Between the Lines)
When I turned 25 years old, I had a minor meltdown. I sat on my friend Rick’s couch and just wailed about how I was “getting ready to be thirty!” I just thought that my life was over! Rick, bless his heart, had the patience of Job and though I’m sure he rolled his eyes, he listened and tried to sympathize.
When I turned 29 years old, I really started to panic. I saw 30 rolling in like a freight train and all I could focus on was what I felt I had missed in life. For a few months, I caught myself really whining at God about it. But my 30th birthday came and went and soon I noticed that 30 wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was.
