This past week was my birthday, 45, can't believe it. It doesn't seem the correct age for who I am. I do not feel that age, I feel 30ish, yes, definitely younger than this 45. Life is good, I have less fears than ever as time has taught me over and over again that my God is completely faithful, worthy of my trust and totally soveriegn. I am more in love with Him than ever, I long to serve Him more and worship at His feet daily. The years have taught me that though I may think I can do all things on my own, God is the strength of my heart, He gives me mercies new every morning. I have lost ones I loved, and witnessed God's miraculous healing of my broken heart. I have learned to bring my tears to Him, unashamed that I am weak and need His strength. I have learned to value life as never before and as the days seem shorter and the moments swiftly passing by I have learned to take the time for people and enjoy my God in every moment of the day. Maybe it is that I still have young ones in my home and I am far from done with homeschooling, but I feel physically young. Once and awhile I seem tired, but overall I can't wait for the new day and all that God has allotted to the next 24 hours that He gives. I have way more energy and ideas and passions than this lifetime will allow me to accomplish so I choose carefully as God guides me. Life is a gift. I spent the day with friends, all day. I had coffee and lunch, and visits and wonderful lemon bars made by two highschool boys from the youth group, and supper with our Bible study group. My girls were so precious with blessing me and enjoying this day with me. what a wonderful day. I always think about my children as my true "treasures", and they are. I started the day by telling my husband that he is the best gift I have been givenl, after salvation of course! God is the giver of every good and perfect gift, oh how I love Him. |
