Every now and then I sit doing something ordinary like watching tv and a thought slips into my head. What am I meant to achieve in this life of mine? I'm 40, what was i meant to do by now? Am I doing it or am i nowhere near close to where I should be??
I'm worried about other people in my life, that they will be swamped and give up, their relationship with the LORD. But what about my relationship with the LORD?
I found myself asking 'just how close am i to you LORD?'. Another thought popped into my head - How close do you want to be?
My answer is this - as close as i can be, as close as if i was resting my head on his chest...or as a child sitting at her Father's feet - safe, happy, protected.
Can I be that close to you LORD? If I was I would whisper into you ear 'hold on tightly to my brother and don't let him go'.
I wonder what my potential was meant to be? I am 40 yrs old and I still have a desire to reach my potential before I die...not to fulfil it, because I have an eternity for that, but to be where I'm meant to be at whatever age I meet the LORD.
I'm doing a 5 yr plan, and I think I need to step up my game. Life is just too short and I have 2 beautiful children who need me to be around for as long as i possibly can be...without being a burden to them of course :)

oh yes! Our God is so good that we can call HIM Abba Daddy....we can whisper in His ear, snuggle on His lap & allow ourselves to be wrapped in His arms!
Tali, I have been a way for a while because of my Mom. Mom has passed away, she went to be with Jesus on Dec 27th. It has been a trial. Yet during it, she accepted the Lord....and she saw Him working in her life....I miss her very much...Although I miss her, I know one day I will see her again. Keep us in prayer.
Your children are more and more beautiful the more and more I see them!
Tali: I loved this post because it shows your heart towards the Father!
You are being such a blessing to your children, by just being their mom!
That is THE most important goal ever: to be the best Christian moms we can be!!
God bless you!
itLill, if you come back again -
sorry to hear abt your Mum. But like you said the good news is she accepted the LORD and you will see her again!
It's the one joy that I have when i think of my dad and other loved ones...one day we will all meet again.
You are in my prayers!
