Forty!
Me at 6 months-old.
In light of me turning 40 tomorrow, I thought I’d play a little number trivia, sort of. Since I’m writing this before bed, it will be short (ya right…haha). Two things :
Not sure how old I am in the above photo, but I do know I’m in my Grandma Alice’s and Grandpa Bill’s backyard, my mama’s parents. I remember loving Grandma’s flower garden.
1) What does 40 signify in the Bible?
2) What famous actors/actresses/singers will also be turning 40 this year (born in 1981)?
I feel like I can see Django in this photo of me.
1) What does 40 signify in the Bible?
Forty is a number to represent a time of testing.
The 40-day flood when Noah was in the ark with his family and all the animals, and God destroyed the earth by water.
Moses lived 40 years in Egypt, then 40 years in the dessert before God chose him to lead His people out of Egypt.
Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights on 2 separate occasions.
The Israelites wandered around the desert for 40 years before reaching the Promised Land.
Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness for 40 days and nights after He was baptized by John the Baptist.

There are quite a few other accounts that I wont share here.
What does this mean for me? Well, it’s just fun. I wouldn’t say these 40 years have all been a time of testing for me, per se, but I will say that I feel very thankful that the Lord has been with me in the trials I’ve had over the years. He has never left me, never.
Back when I was a true blond. I cheat now. Haha. That’s my cousin Wyndi.
