Today is the last day of my 30s. Tomorrow I enter a new decade of my life. I couldn't sleep last night. I spent the entire night reminiscing about where the last 40 years of my life went. How much things have changed. This wasn't a negative experience, it was just deeply reflective. So much has changed. I thought about my childhood. I thought about if I could go back and redo a few things, would I? If I could go back and say one thing to that little boy growing up in Welland, what would I say to him? I keep hearing the same thing: "Your 30's are just research. Life begins at 40". I don’t know if that’s true, but I do know that I’m excited to enter this new decade of my life 🥰 I want to leave you with what my daily devotional said today as I think it’s fitting for the occasion:
"DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW! This is not a suggestion but a command. I divided time into days and nights so that you would have manageable portions of life to handle. My grace is sufficient for you, but its sufficiency is for only one day at a time. When you worry about the future, you heap day upon day of troubles onto your flimsy frame. You stagger under this heavy load, which I never intended you to carry. Throw off this oppressive burden with one quick thrust of trust. Anxious thoughts meander about and crisscross in your brain, but trusting Me brings you directly into My Presence. As you thus affirm your faith, shackles of worry fall off instantly. Enjoy My Presence continually by trusting Me at all times" (Matthew 6:34; 2 corinthians 12:9;
Psalm 62:8)
