Hello Auntie!
I looked back to see who was being addressed as ''aunty''
Oh....hello I responded slowly when it dawned on me that I was the ''aunty"
See who was calling who Aunty..I chuckled to myself.
As I sat quietly I was surprised at myself.
Why be offended,The young lady was only being polite
What and how did I expect her to address me;
Hello girl or young lady,I don't even know how I would address myself lol.
That day I sat and thought real hard and long
It hit me...the numbers are adding up..
I might not feel as old but I am no longer 21
I am aging.
In other words,I am getting old.
But hey,Aging gracefully is a beautiful thing,
The experiences of life adds to us,
We are wiser and stronger for having weathered life's storms and challenges
So I am reminded that even though I have not achieved all I set out to do,
I am in God so he makes everything beautiful and He perfects all that concerns Me.
Lately I have had this sense of urgency to live more purposefully and make every day count.
I can't but help feel disheartened when the days fly by and I have not much to show for it.
It also doesn't help when the devil tries to play mind games and cause you to doubt and second guess yourself.
Posterity is depending on us to live life to the fullest and make an impact,
To live on purpose,per time..and not leave our life to chance.
There is so much we can accomplish in God,but we know we have a
Real enemy who is constantly plotting to steal our time,distract us and limit us..
Looking back I can see how much time I have wasted doing unprofitable things,
How much time l lost to people and ventures that added nothing to my life.
Some of the excuses I have made for not doing the things God placed in my heart to do are
Infact valid,but great people don't make excuses,they find a way to make things happen.
Looking back I could have done this or that but this post is not about
Regrets,
It's about reviewing my year,it's about asking the whys now...
Why didn't I start that business, Was it because I was afraid of failing or that I didn't have the capital?
Why didn't I loose that extra weight?
Why didn't I do all I set out to do at the beginning of the year?
Why why why..
I challenge you to ask the Whys now so you can be intentional
About not repeating the same mistakes in 2017.
So this year,I am doing something I have never done before,
I am going to prayerfully start planning for 2017 now.
I am so grateful for the blessings and the many things I have received and achieved this year
But is that all God had in store for me...
truthfully,I have been lazy,I have not pushed myself enough,I have not utilized all the graces God has given me.
So I would not be waiting till 31st Dec to take stock.
It's time to do things differently..
It is time to stop dwelling in yesterday's glory..
It's time to do more and bring God pleasure.
Well done for all the great feats accomplished this year
But there is more to accomplish..
Feeling disappointed at the progress you made so far?
Don't cry over spilt milk,God's mercies are new every morning,
Find something to be thankful for,Ask and Answer the Whys,
Re-strategise and launch out in faith in 2017.
You are victorious.
Amen.
Joshua 13:1NIV
When Joshua had grown old, the LORD said to him, "You are now very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
