Hi Ho Silver! Away!
That’s right, I went to see the Lone Ranger with my boys this afternoon. Despite a few aspects that were a bit corny and slow the movie was enjoyable. What really got me was Seth saying in the end, “There were times it seemed it was making a parody of something.” Hmmm…yeah, the original Lone Ranger! That’s right, Seth had no clue that the Lone Ranger used to be a TV series, or the fact it began from a radio program even before TV was invented. Why would he?
It reminds me of my age. 🙁 There are moments when the age of my mind needs to catch up to my reality. Can you relate? There are moments when my mind still feels as vulnerable as a teenager and then others as the becoming confident and well-learned as my 30-something self but when I am faced with the reality of my (still young) age of nearing 40 it’s a shocker. I remember when I was in my teens thinking that 40 was so old. But I don’t feel ‘so old’. Maybe it’s why Sweetgraw, my grandmother, never let ‘age’ stop her. At 90 she published her first of five books…90.
When I begin to feel as if the journey is slow and lacks the promise of what I believe is the fruition of my calling I remember that simple fact. Sweetgraw was 90 and she was still accomplishing life goals. There is no age limit to success nor is there an end to what we can accomplish.
This train of thought encourages me today. 🙂 So I’m about six weeks closer to 40…there are moments my body is beginning to feel the adjustment of time but there is still so much for my mind to take in and learn. So much for me to do. Last week in a radio interview with Alison Stevens on Views from the Heart she asked me what I was hoping to do in my future…and as I answered I realized how much I enjoy taking it one day at a time. Wherever God leads me is where I need to land and what makes that even more exciting is because I know with God anything is possible. 🙂
Whatever stage of life you are in at this very moment take comfort in realizing you are exactly where you need to be…and if that doesn’t seem to comfort you and you still feel restless then ask yourself, “Am I where God wants me to be?” Your answer will either be the restlessness or the peace of your heart. If you are not at peace then put to prayer for God to lead you where you need to be.
Blessings
