It’s Not Too Late

I recently reconnected on an online social network with a friend I hadn’t seen in years. She asked if I had fulfilled a personal dream that I had shared with her years ago. She is the second person to ask me about this dream recently. My answer was, “Not yet.” Honestly, I imagined that by this time in my life I would have accomplished this goal–or at least be a lot closer than I am today. Although God placed this desire in me over 25 years ago, it has yet to come to pass. I never envisioned certain setbacks that have hindered the actualization of this dream.

Even without the setbacks and detours, my goal is unachievable without God’s help. It’s something way too big for me to accomplish alone or in my own strength. It can be easy to embrace the disappointment and conclude that it’s too late for the vision to be realized. However, I was encouraged as I recalled recent sermons my pastor preached about faith. He taught about Abraham, who was promised an heir, yet had to wait until he was about 100 years old before Isaac was born. Abraham had faith in the promises of God despite his age, the physical limitations of Sarah, his wife, who was 90 years old when she gave birth, and the length of time he had to wait.

If Abraham and Sarah could give birth at 100 and 90, it’s not too late for me to realize my dream at 42. Be encouraged. Don’t give up. Don’t allow your present circumstances to keep you from pursuing your dream. If God has promised you something, it’s not too late for the promise to come to pass!

A New Year

A new year always brings promise, potential and hope. It can be a time of reflection on the past year, but also anticipation of a better future. Believe that no matter your current circumstance, things will be better in 2010. Look for ways to realize your vision and purpose this year.

I’m thankful for another year of life and new opportunities. As I get older, it seems the more important things in life come into focus. I’m looking forward to what God has for me in 2010. Happy New Year!

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. Matthew 2:11

Wise men go into the house and worship!
Merry Christmas!

Learning From Others’ Mistakes

Rodney Winters — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:59:33 +0000

Sometimes we can learn from the mistakes of others, as well as their positive experiences. There are some situations in life that I don’t want to have to experience personally. I would rather learn from what someone else has gone through, so that I don’t have to face the same consequences. This requires openness and honesty. Too often we hide and try to act like we have everything together. Exposure is key to recovery. We cannot be healed if we hide.

Could it be that we were allowed to go through our particular struggle just so we can help someone else who may be facing a similar situation? We need to be transparent with others. Ask God to give you opportunities to share your failures with “safe”, hurting people, so you can be an encouragement to them.
