Ready or not it will happen, 3, 2, 1 days from now! To answer the question, yes I am ready! We really have no choice, life goes on.
So far I have lived 24,225 days since I was born. Have you ever added up the days in your life? When I look at life with total numbers of days or minutes or seconds it is eye popping. When I look at those numbers I ponder the deep question of, 'Did I live them well? '.
I have to say that as I reflect on many of the days that I remember, I have been blessed and hopefully I have lived most of them well. Oh, trust me there have been many sad days, angry days, scary days, sick days but OH so many more good days.
Do I like getting old? Not really! Would I want to go back in time? Not really! Do I like feeling disenfranchised as I seek to find my 'next' calling? Not really! However, with each chapter or actual day for the rest of my days, I am going to embrace the fact that I am here because God has numbered my days. I am to be about loving Him and loving those He places in my life. I am certain this focus will afford me the adventures I love and the purpose I am to fulfill.
I know how I am wired and I know that as the opportunities arise to take an adventure, or serve someone in need or be available to pray, that it will happen. My hope and my comfort are found in Jesus Christ and the promises given to us in scripture. With out those I would be a blubbering mess, full of worries, scared for my future and fighting for my 'rights' and my 'wishes'.
I do not know who reads this beside me. I do hope that if there is a reader who does not know God, through Jesus Christ that you do your self a favor and check it out. Honestly, do your homework your very life does depend upon it.
If I have to sum up my thoughts for todays blog they are taken from scripture.
"Just one thing: Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ."
Philippians 1:21 Bible
