Seasons Change

‘There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity

under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.”

Ecclesiastes Chapter 3:1-8 NIV

The Word of God teaches that God established and maintains the seasons for a specific purpose. The changing seasons also symbolizes life’s ongoing cycle of change and transition. Though the seasons change and life brings sometimes uncertainty, Gods faithfulness and love for us remains constant, providing a foundation for trusting Him through all circumstances. God doesn’t change, he is the same, yesterday, today, and forever more.

What does trusting God look like in the scripture:

Noah trusted Gods instructions to build the ark, because it was going to rain.

Even from within the Lion’s den Daniel trusted God was with him as he shut the lion’s mouth.

Gideon was a good solider who took 300 soldiers and slaughter the Midianites.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

Never Too Old

“Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the Godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.” Psalm 37:25 NLT

This passage of scripture I have shared today highlights God’s faithfulness and provision for those who follow Him. As I grow older, I have seen first-hand, that I can learn new things, not to mention that my palette of interest has grown too.

Social media is filled with 50 plus people, cooking, dancing, singing, vacationing, giving positive message, funny jokes, and skits. After all you can’t live 50 plus years and not have some amazing experiences to share. Too be honest it is refreshing and encouraging to me to see folks my age doing their thang.

Age should not limit older people from pursuing their passions and achieving goals. C.S. Lewis said it this way, “You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.”

Here are a few extraordinary things some older people have done:

80-year-old fashion model

91-year-old marathon runner

88-year-old active gymnast

90-year-old who earned a PhD

95-year-old who earned a bachelor’s degree, then at 98 years old earned master’s degree, and even moved into a campus dorm.

Ironman athlete and Nun at 86 years old

Climb Mount Everest at 80 years old

90-year-old who won a Nobel Prize

Water Skier at 100 years old

Riding Harley-Davidson motorcycle at 90 years old

Active dancer and yoga practitioner at 92 years old

Oldest Newlyweds at ages 103 and 91 years old

Skydiving at 100 years old

Drive a Formula 1 car at 79 years old

And that’s not all of the list, Isn’t that amazing? It’s a sign that adventures come at any age. It’s all about a mindset my friends. We can do all things through Christ who is our strength. Notice it doesn’t say anything about our age. The Longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. I certainly appreciate the simple things. We are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. Amen.

Back in the Saddle

 

“Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.” Proverbs 4:25 NIV

I had a great vacation everyone. The hardest part is preparing to get back in the saddle. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, it is defined as doing something that you stopped doing for a period of time. “Work.” It felt great to just let it go.

The Idiom, which is rooted in horseback riding, specifically the act of getting back on a horse after falling or being thrown.

It also represents overcoming a setback by shaking it off and getting back on task.

My favorite parts of the trip were the views, beach. And yes, I did put my toes in the cool water and warm sand. I also enjoyed the good food, seeing family, and shopping for sea turtle stuff.  I don’t know what it is, but I just like sea turtles.

There was no hurry up and go, it was just taking our time and enjoy the view.

God I just want to say thank you again for My vacation. You took us out their safely and brought us back the same way. As I prepare to get back in the Saddle, I do so with a thankful heart and clear mind.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

Who You With?

“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say— “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, when their wrath was kindled against us. Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have gone over our soul. Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul.” Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.” Psalm 124:1-6 NKJV

This Psalm of Ascent is attributed to David; it expresses gratitude for deliverance from enemies. It emphasizes that if it were not for the Lord’s intervention, his people would have been overwhelmed by their adversaries. The psalm highlights the Lord as the protector and source of help, comparing their escape to a bird escaping a snare.

The psalm begins with a hypothetical scenario: if the Lord had not been on their side, the people would have been swallowed alive, overwhelmed by the wrath and force of their enemies, depicted as raging waters.

The tone shifts to praise and gratitude. The psalmist blesses the Lord for not allowing them to become prey to their enemies’ attacks. They compare their escape to a bird escaping a snare.

The psalm concludes with a declaration of trust in the Lord, acknowledging Him as the creator of heaven and earth and the ultimate source of their help.

Who you with friends? Is it the Lord who is strong and mighty, the Lord who is almighty in battle, He is the King of Glory. Not only will he fight for His children, He Wins!

Remember Friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

Destination Vacation!!

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 NIV

Friends, I bet you can guess what my topic is going to be about this week. Yep, Vacations. It is that time again for my husband and I to take a trip to my favorite place, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

It’s an opportunity to pull back from everything and just enjoy what only our God has created Nature. The beautiful water and sandy beaches, it’s nothing like inhaling the beauty around us, especially when we take the time to just look.

What do I love about Myrtle Beach? Beaches (sand between my toes and the water is chilly on my feet at first, but then it feels fine), plenty of delicious food everywhere and the surrounding towns like Georgetown (Gotta hit Eve’s, she has the best Oxtails on this side of heaven y’all), Lots of live music (all on the boardwalk and they have some great Mexican corn), and let me not forget all of the amazing beach shops.

Lord, I want to thank you for down time, to just be able to take a break as I look at your awesomeness. Thank God for Vacations.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
