Joshua 13: 1 When Joshua was old and well advanced in years, the LORD said to him, "You are very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over.

1 Corinthians 7: 17 Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.

Woke up feeling old.....and pretty useless and then in reading Joshua this morning discovered that that's just me and to You I can still be viable and useful maybe. Finding out that another precious Grandchild is on the way maybe contributed to the feelings.....Dan turning 55 and me close on his heels in that department perhaps contributed.....

What I know is I perhaps am getting older....:)
There is not much my kids need us for and that's a good thing..
I am called to be wife to one man and mother and now Grandmother.....
I am called to not self protect but to live open and honest and vulnerable and authentic.....
and that You love me......
to love You and love and serve others, all others.

Hi Becky! I'm working night shift and so now will try to read your blog during the quiet hours:) I have a whopping 2 patients tonight so it will be a slow one. I start my discipleship school at the Rock tomorrow... I'm nervous to be adding hours of activity and subtracting hours of sleep, but I know God will show up b/c this program is incredible... I'm really excited to dig into the word and people... it so reminds me of the Shoal Creek internship. I'll keep you updated:)
