“Are your best years behind you,” is the question I heard
posed on the radio today. That is one
that made me think for a moment. Today,
March 2, is my 42nd birthday.
Are my best years behind me? I do
not even hesitate to say…NO WAY!
Seriously, I feel like I’ve just warmed up in this game of life and am
ready to go. The description of the
Proverbs 31 woman says , in verse 25, “Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the time to come.”
When I think of this laugh I don’t imagine a light chuckle, I envision a
deep mysterious “you have no idea what’s about to hit you” kind of laugh. It is the laugh that precedes the unleashing
of a woman on a mission from the Lord. That
is me; a woman on a mission. Am I afraid
of the future? Yes, I’m terrified,
because I know to whom much is given much is expected. I know the Lord is doing mighty things and I
want to be a part of them. I know I’m
not prepared, equipped or educated enough for whatever His plan is… but I also
know He holds me in the palm of His hand and directs my every step. Wow…. All I can say is that my best years are
yet to come!
