A change of life…

A common phased used to communicate a woman’s place or transition from youth to old age. Recently, I walked on the ocean sand in Huntington Beach, California enjoying the wonder of God’s handiwork. Every time I go there when I look back to see where I have come, my footprints have been washed away by the ocean tide. No trace or evidence of me being there. Instance change!

I celebrated another birthday a few weeks ago, another year of change.
Just typing it makes me feel less than productive or effective in this “performance driven” world we live in. How did I get here so fast?

At the beauty salon yesterday, I was talking to the owner and we were sharing how vital it is to know the Lord and to allow the Holy Spirit to guide us. We agreed that even if we have experienced His wonder and strength in past situations, today is a new day and even more we need His help. We have never been this age, in this place nor have this type of circumstance ahead of us.

Clearly, a change in life only brings me to my knees because without prayer, communion with the Lord and direction from His Word, I cannot be real. I am ineffective just on my own but with His saving power and help, along with a new hair color from the beauty salon, I am a new creature in the Lord!
