Do you ever ask yourself….How did I get here?
Wasn’t it a heartbeat ago that you were a sweet five-year-old little girl trying to be quiet, sit still and behave? Being a good girl was hard for me. I wanted to express myself with my body and my voice! What were you like at five? What happened to that little girl from so long ago?
Did she get married, have kids and fall into routine and structure? Did that five-year-old girl all grown up ever say to her own daughter “ be quiet, sit still, and behave?” And when she did say those things did she catch herself and ask: how did I get here?
Did that girl pack her children’s bags for college and close the door to her quiet house? Did she keep busy with her career or linger in her garden because she could? Did she look in the mirror and see her mother and ask how did I get here? Where is the girl? The girl?!
Maybe you will always look for the girl in the mirror. Maybe we all will.
Whatever season of life you are in, whether newly married or a mom or empty nester, in the blink of an eye you will be in the next season and then the next. It’s all so fast. When you look in the mirror you will see the girl and the woman and the grandmother all in one and you will ask the Lord… Are you pleased with who I’ve become Lord? What HAVE I done? Has it been enough? Am I ENOUGH? Do you still love me as much as you loved the little girl? How did I get here?
Today as you reflect, pray and give thanks, ask the Lord to pour into you and give you understanding, purpose, direction, peace and affirmation as you move toward the next season and know that by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
Will you pray with me? I got here by your grace Lord and by grace I shall move on to the next season of life. Thank you Jesus for every season because even though THIS season may seem especially hard I know it is in your plan for me and me alone. In Jesus name AMEN.
I encourage you to think about the word Grace. What does it mean to you personally? Ponder it, pray about it, look it up and dig deeper.
