Out of the womb

This past week was exciting and concerning. My friend gave birth to her first baby. She did not want to know the sex of the child. Before Chloe was born many thought including me it would be a boy. To our surprise it is a beautiful girl.

Before Chloe was born my friend did not have much sleep for two days. I was concerned for her. Praise be to God daddy, mommy and Chloe are doing well.

Forgiveness

Is there something that is stopping you from going forward in life. Something like sin or do you believe in sin.

Sin not confessed to the Lord, will cause you to fall. Do not feel your sin can not be forgiven? The Lord says in the following verse:

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1John 1:9

You're still not sure, give it a try, just you and Jesus. He will hears you. I have not read in the Bible were He ever turned anyone away, who came with a repented heart. You have eternal life awaiting you.

Decades

I was speaking with my friend about my experiences in the different decades of my life.
I said in my teen years I was depressed a lot due to the circumstances in my life.
My twenties, I call them the wasted years.
In my thirties, I was finding myself and making career changes.
In my forties, I had a new attitude and the best thing happen to me. I gave my heart to Jesus Christ and my life has not been the same.
In my fifties, I am more active than ever in my life. I have a totally different career. I am involved in ministry work at church. I am learning Salsa Dance, taking Karate classes to keep me physically fit, and taking a writing workshop.

If you are in your sixties or older, please share you wisdom and insight with me.
