My Best Years...


“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!
