When I was younger, I’d look at women that I now resemble in the mirror and think, “I’ll have it all together then….”
I remember thinking, they are wise. They know what to do every single time a concern heads their way—in less than ten seconds probably.
I thought I’d feel like a wise grown up after I got past what was surely the hardest part of anyone’s life —you know when your kids are toddlers!
But then came my kid’s middle school drama, high school fears, college sadness, and well… I just kept thinking I’ld get it all figured out, and then BAM! Adult children and empty nest!
So yeah! Where’s the handbook on “What to expect when they are adults?”
Surely, older, wise women don’t worry about navigating issues with their adult kids, the economy, the moral degradation of society, and how their husbands overeat fast food!
Wait a minute! What if I never arrive at that know-everything, never-second-guess yourself, spot in this life?
What if I always need to hit my knees in prayer, or go as far to fall to the floor and bury my face in my carpet praying (only to scold myself later for it not smelling better!)
What if I’m going to always need the Lord instead of just automatically shooting from the hip based on how I feel?
And what if I really do just keep taking things one day at a time, acknowledging God in all my ways, and He just keeps directing my steps, and giving me steady peace that makes no earthly sense?
What if God really does want me to stop worrying about tomorrow, or thinking I need all the answers, and just trust Him because each day certainly does have enough trouble of it’s own? (Can, I get an AMEN. on that?!)
And what if THAT IS actually what real wisdom looks and feels like?
What if? 😉
What a Savior!
How we need Him every single second…all the way home!❤️
