There is something incredibly freeing about being 50. There is a self-awareness that was never there before. I have learned to pay attention to the things around me, and I see reality with a clarity that never before existed. I believe this clarity comes from the Holy Spirit living in me and giving me discernment. It is an amazing place to exist! Where I used to cower in fear, I now boldly walk with my head held high and in a confidence that comes from wisdom and understanding. In other words, Jesus leads and I follow. Pretty simple, huh? Yeah, right!
We all know there is nothing simple about it. But when I am truthful with myself, I realize that it really is a simple principle ~ follow Christ blindly and He will give me sight.
I think I like being old...
