When I turned 30, I remembered thinking to myself, "Thank GOD I made it." In my 20s, I came to terms with many issues from my past and resolved most of them. So I was looking forward to turning 30 and moving on. I also remembered thinking, "No turning back," and feeling some anxiety because I didn't know what new life challenges awaited me. All I knew was that I was ready to face them. I was GOD fearing.
