As I turn 50 on Monday, that is even hard saying and believing that I will be that old! People have been saying it is only a number, but I have been doing some reflecting over the first 50 years of my life. I am also looking forward to the years that I have left, and what will the future hold in store for me. I know one thing, that I want to live with significance, and purpose in the years that I have left.
There are certain events in life that cause us to reflect and review your life. I am thankful for my parents who brought me up to know the Lord. I am thankful for my heritage. I am thankful for the call of God when I was a teenager. I am thankful for my years at Valley Forge Christian College. I am thankful for my wife Emma and that she is my best friend. I am thankful for all those who have invested in my life when I was a young minister. I am thankful for over 28 years of ministry in different places, and the many friends that I have made over these years. God has been very faithful to me in the good and in the difficult times!
I am praying that I will always walk in the God's will for my life. A verse that I memorized early in life, is one that I want to still follow as I turn 50. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding. In all thy ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."
Turning 50????
