WHERE WAS I ?

“Where was I?”  “Where am I now?”

“Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.”  Psalm 37:25

I will be 66, August 25th.

My life is a bit more of a mess than I would ever have imagined years ago that I would be in this season of life.

I feel like life is sometimes and more often overwhelming-challenging-heartbreaking all the while being encouraging and inspiring.

Life has turned out very different than I had hoped for.  It is telling me it’s OK to feel like you’re falling apart, because in so many ways I am.  I tend to forget that I live in a fallen world.  I am part of the truth and reality of the fall.  I have been experiencing body decline.

“ I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.  For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.  For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope  that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.”  Romans 8:18-20

I am constantly reminding myself to surrender to the concept that God is amazingly in control of my life.
So with that in mind, I should not miss the should’ves, could’ves,would’ves in life.
Life is never the same.

“Every day has been under God’s wise and careful administration”  in spite of the choices I have made.

“all the days ordained for me were written in your book".  Psalm 139:16

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28
