i am comin' down the home stretch - about to leave my 20's once and for all. this decade was filled with tons of experiences and growth. married, kids, houses and jobs - i have even made some strides in my character. couple of things i would like to guide my next 10 years:
1. less focus on what i don't want to be. want to focus more on what i know i am called to in christ.
2. continue to search for a vocation better suited for me.
3. continue to love and serve my wonderful wife and kids.
i have been joking with people lately about the impending depression i am going to slip into after i hit 30, but in actuality i am quite content in many aspects of my life. i understand, it isn't about what i have accomplished in this world that makes me any more worthy of the love i have in christ. he loves me! that is enough! i am known by the creator of the heavens and the earth! that is enough! there is nothing that can separate me from his love! and that is enough!

on a side note, i just finished ted dekker's black, red and white series. fantastic books that are soaked in the gospel story. i would recommend picking them up, if you enjoy christian fiction.

I would suggest that rather than "home stretch" that you think of it as coming to the back stretch and beginning to hit your stride. From my perspective you are running the race well and are in good position. There is no doubt you will finish in the money. The only question is how well you will run the rest of the race. Sounds to me like you have a handle on what it will take to make it to the turn for home. My money is on you and I'm cheering like crazy.
Grace and Peace
