“Midlife.” It’s not a crisis but more like an UNRAVELING as Brene Brown would say. Healthy change and healed chapters, your Story Edits…they’re all about an unraveling. An undoing. A moving towards, and a moving back. And in my opinion, opportunities that can lead to BECOMING more of who God created you to be. HE uses this one life, the ups and downs, the break-throughs and the break-downs, the joy and the pain, the set-spikes and the set-backs, the excitement AND (yes) the suffering to bring you into a person of HIS design. HE’s always fashioning you, even on, (especially on)the anvils of life. HE promises something beautiful in the making…. a heart more like His and lives as sojourners that leave legacies that point to the ONE who brings meaning to it all. Meaning to ALL our chapters. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in 50 years, it’s that there’s no greater joy, no greater peace, no greater thrill, no greater excitement, no greater love, than walking in the identity and knowledge of this truth…it’s not about a life that “did it my way,” but a life thats’s surrendered to HIS way. So here’s to another (dare I say it!) 50 years of surrendering to all that God is doing in me, and through me. Being FASHIONED, prayerfully, into an instrument for His plans and purposes, goodness and glory.
