10/17/2018 0 Comments Growing up, not just olderAs my 51st birthday approaches, my mind has turned to what great thing i have accomplished over the past year. I feel like i have made great strides in some areas, and failed in others. Basically, its like every other year of life so far! And its frustrating.
i was grumbling about another year of mediocre outcomes when I stopped and realized, none of that was true. 50 has been an awesome year! I am finally doing something i love after years of attempts to figure out what i liked. As much as i want to celebrate my personal victories, i have also come to the conclusion that time is short. I can't slow down now and gloat over the small gains when greater things await me. Interestingly, an old post from Christine Caine popped up on my news feed that said what I was feeling. This is her list of things she discovered on her own journey to self discovery. I copied it here because it so accurately reflects my own thoughts and feelings.
You actually have the power to decide to take control of your life.... there's more in you than you know. You can do hard things! Don't waste your life trying to prove something to someone who really doesn't care about you anyway. Be faithful to Jesus. He sees. He knows. He cares. 💕" Not every bullet point fits me, but most do. Im so grateful for this list and am preparing my own new list for year 51. Contentment and confidence have been my focus at 50, I wonder what gifts God will give me at 51?
