I am 40! WOW, that is so hard to believe. (Especially since I act more like a kid. Ha!) I really don’t know where the time has gone. I remember being in elementary hoping to be in junior high, then looking forward to high school. When I was in high school, college couldn’t come fast enough! Ever have that feeling? My Mom used to tell me to not wish my life away.

This “wishing my life away” felt more like trying to find who I was and who I was supposed to be. Every spend all of your moments, days, years trying to figure out what you’re here in this world for. “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” – E.E. Cummings Through these growing up years, which most days I feel like I am still growing up, I have learned how to plan, set goals, and crush them. HOWEVER, I have also learned how to be flexible and trust God’s plan for my world.

Having my plans changed has not been an adjustment that was always easy for me. I used to have to have a plan and if it varied, my world was rocked! In this ripe old age of 40, I am grateful, through my relationship with God, I am able to adjust when kinks are thrown into my world. C.S. Lewis once said ” Look for Christ and you will find him and within Him, everything else”. Once I truly trusted God to guide my plans… I have found everything else.
