Today and tomorrow are important days for me. Saying goodbye to thirties and hello to forties. It wasn’t so hard when it was twenties to thirties. But this one is huge. It’s huge not because of the big 4 0 — no!
It’s all that happened this decade – the many memories. Good ones and not-so-good ones. I lived and nearly died. I gave birth and became a mommy to our beautiful Emmarie and Chloe. They were here for such a short time. But now in Heaven forevermore. There were a lot of starts. I wanted to say – and stops, too – but part’s not true. In some ways, I’ve started over again.
My career – it was going great! Publications, presentations, and much to do!
Husband and kids – we were a very busy homeschooling family!
Health was great all around – just needed a ‘lil more energy to make all those rounds!
Spiritually – it was definitely on the up and up – but not where it needed to be. Aren’t we always growing?
And then suddenly… everything changed in an instant.
I became a paraplegic. Learning to do so many things differently. Trying to have faith to walk again.
No more busy homeschooling family. Career was on hold. At least I’m working again.
Will I ever regain my health? I must press on! I must believe!
Spiritually – the Lord has become my True Friend and taken me so far and I’ve truly learned to walk with Him. And I keep learning more and growing closer to Him each passing day.
So what about the 40’s? What will those years hold? So many questions! Yet one day at a time will tell. Will this be the decade I walk again? Will this be the one when I see our girls again? Will the Lord Jesus Christ return before I turn 50?
Who knows? But excitedly, courageously, I go! I’ll keep pushing into His presence to find all that the future holds!
