I am thankful for every year I have been alive!
The memories I have lived are unforgettable. Some might agree even miraculous. What the enemy intended for bad, God has brought goodness and mercy through each and every situation. Especially this past year.
When I turned 50 years old last summer, I gave God my whole
heart. I completely surrendered my fleshly desires, my earthly dreams over to
Him. It became the most exceptional year of my life.
I found out who I was and whose I was.
God has literally turned me inside out this past year,
exposing all the rotting roots and lovingly discarding them. Oh His grace and mercy overwhelm me. I know I am still a work in progress, but I
am not who I was and what is before me is far greater than where I have been. I
walk in peace. I am hungry for more of Jesus and thankful for the first fifty
years of my life, no regrets.
I cherish and own my age! I have earned every single year!
The purpose, I was created to live out; is only beginning to
manifest itself. Although my body may be
showing signs of aging, I refuse to grow old in thought or spirit!
My heart soars like that of a twenty-something.
On June 27th I will turn 51. While every birth-day is
to be celebrated – (yes there will be dinner and yes there will be something
chocolate)… but in reality…It’s just another day on the calendar...its just another
number.
Every single number, double digit on my journey are only mile markers on the path of
getting to where I am going. Even though I may never see the end of the journey,
the promise fulfilled with my human eyes… I am embracing the journey and
walking in stark raving obedience to accomplish His plan; that no one will
be lost.
I live for one thing:
To hear my Fathers voice proclaim…
“Well done… good and
faithful servant.”
I am a disciple.
