An Empty Nest Surprise
If you would have told me a couple of years ago that I would write a book in my empty nest years, I would not have believed you! (I also would not have believed you if you told me that I would also get 2 tattoos—but that’s another post!)
I am 60 years old! I am not who I’d imagined I’d be at 60! I do not have it all together, I am not the “model” Titus 2 woman or mentor. I do not sit peacefully, sipping tea and scattering my wisdom all over the place.
That’s just not who I am.
God is still growing me up, teaching me to find rest, peace, and JOY in Him. I am more aware than ever before of how needful of Him I am and that if anything good is seen in my life, it’s because He is there. If there is anything good seen in my family, it’s because of a work He has done.
I can tell you how He has worked in my life, that He is working now, and that he is faithful. I can join you in going to the Word and we can learn together. I can strengthen you in God and encourage you to lean on Him.
He has been indelibly tattooed on my heart and, by His grace, I am committed to Him for as long as I live. My little tattoo is a daily reminder of the sacrifice He made for me and reminds me to offer myself as a living sacrifice.
That’s the kind of 60 years old, “old lady” I am at present. And God is continuing to change me every day.
