I turned 42 last November. In some ways I’m feeling old. Gray hairs, aches, transitional glass formerly known as bifocals…and the kicker, friends of mine are GRANDPARENTS.
My life isn’t where I thought it would be in some ways, yet in other’s it is EXACTLY where I wanted it to be without knowing it. I found a plan on the YouVersion app 21 ways to Thrive by 45 by Tiffany Bluhm. Peeps, 45 is not so far away, that is like almost 50. I used to think 40 was old.
I have been going through a spiritual awakening if you want to call it that. Though I am finding it hilarious that as I am writing this Reckless Love came on and “There’s no wall you won’t kick down, lie you won’t tear down comin’ after me”. Y’all the Lord is comin’ after me and I am no longer scared of that!
I have been comfortable for so long. Why would I even desire to ask, “Lord where do you want me?” But He chased me. So I meakishly, hesitantly asked, “So, you want me to do something for you um okay maybe?” Psalm 56:3-4 says, “But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?” When I feel fearful I should praise Him. And ya know what happens when I actually apply that little nugget. I. Am. Not. Afraid. Anymore. Try it sometime, it’ll be worth it.
My Heavenly Father has personally, Himself gone ahead of me. He will NEVER leave me or fail me. He has plans for me, to prosper me. (Deut. 31:7, Jeremiah 29:11) Can I get an Amen?
