Today I celebrate my 39th birthday~I look forward to what God has instored for me as I step into the last year of me being in the thirties. I hope to do something exciting for the Lord before I enter into the BIG four-zero... something that will make me smile whenever I look back at my 39, something that would be sweet and savoury :)
I remembered when I turned 35, I was feeling sober by this verse in Psalm 90:10 - "The length of our days is seventy years — or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away." If my life span is 70 years like what the Psalmist said, then I would have lived(used up) half of it... what am I going to do with the other half left??
I wonder would I have the same sentiment again when I hit the big 40 next year, being sober thinking of having left with another half of my entire life span if I were to have the strength to live a neat 80 years... hmmmm...
ANYWAY, if God called me home today, then all these thoughts are but just a waste of time! Being SOBER is GOOD, as long as I move on and stop dwelling on it and rot, that is, nope!
I neeeeeeeeeeeeed to LIVE LIFE to the fullest by LIVING LIFE FOR MY GOD! What have I been doing with my past 38 years huh? HUH??
Seize the year, Lydia!
Seize the time!!
Seize the moment!!!
My prayer, O God, on this my 39th birthday, according to Psalm 90:12 onwards:
Teach me to number my days aright, that I may gain a heart of wisdom. Have compassion on me - your child. Satisfy me in the morning with your unfailing love, that I may sing for joy and be glad all my days. May your deeds be shown to me, your splendor to my children. May the favor of the Lord my God rest upon me; establish the work of my hands for me — yes, establish the work of my hands.
In Jesus' gracious Name I humbly asked.
Amen and Amen!
Blessed 39th, Lydia!
Have fun in the Lord with your dear husband and children today :)
