I Don't Want To Stay The Same....

This coming Sunday, I will celebrate my 42nd birthday with my friends and family! I feel so very blessed to celebrate another year of life! I know God is doing a new thing in me each year.

As I get older, I am beginning to notice all of the things everyone warned me about. Little jewels like crow’s feet, grey hair, creaky bones, and a spare tire….amongst other things. :)

So, although I am not so excited about my body getting older, I am thankful for birthdays because I want my spirit to mature…I want to grow in my relationship with the Lord. I want to grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I don’t want to stay the same! I want God to continue to grow me and change me and mold me. I don’t want to make the same mistakes year after year, but I want to learn from them and overcome them. I want to look forward to what God is doing in me and through me TODAY.

As I celebrate my 42nd birthday, I will rejoice!....Because God's grace is the ultimate, unlimited gift to ME and to YOU - the undeserving!

We don’t have to dread our age in Christ because with Him life only gets sweeter. That’s not to say that we will sail through life without problems, but Christ gives us grace and love that helps us handle the years. What a thrill that as we age we know that the joy of being with Him in heaven gets closer and closer. There is so much that Christ gives us when we become a child of His and accept Him as our Savior.

Blessings,
Dalinda
