Wow. 2010. It just doesn’t seem possible!
The last puzzle piece of 2009 is in place and a new year begins.
I feel like I should be setting goals, planning projects, dreaming, reaching, achieving… and at the same time, I seem to be stuck in the same. The here & now of my life. Afraid to take risks. To try something new. Just comfortable.
Maybe it’s a stay-at-home mom issue. A feeling of not “doing anything”. No importance. No significance. Just blah.
Maybe it’s an “almost 40” thing. I didn’t think that turning 40, (which I will do in mid-February), would be a big deal. The closer it gets, the more daunting it becomes.
I’m not sure what it is. But I’m not a big fan of this feeling.
Maybe it’s spiritual. I will be honest, my daily devotions, time spent with God, hasn’t happened much lately. I know I am saved. I know He loves me. I do spend a lot of time talking to God. Praying. But time in His Word, is where I fail.
Seems like here I am again. New year. Same feeling. Clinging to these verses…
- Jeremiah 29:11-14a “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD,…”

Krista, I will also be turning 40 in February (although early, not mid!)…your post summed up my feelings about it exactly. :nod: I also have been surprised by the trepidation that the big 4-0 is causing in my heart. Please keep inspiring me with your blog as we both approach this monumental birthday!
