Consider

I am a less than a plain woman so I always hoped age would level the playing field and all the woman around my age that were gorgeous would fade in their beauty and we would all land about the same place. Not true. Some of them have gotten more beautiful And what I did not count on was that my unattractive areas could become more unattractive or new features would show up. So, love yourself as you are. Quit worrying about things you can not change and stops comparing yourself to others ,coveting your neighbors good looks. God has a plan for even me.

Morning

Morning can be difficult for me. Seems as I have entered this phase in my womanhood I encounter what is called, moments of impending doom. Those moments generally occur in the AM. I have been experiencing them,on and off, for years so the impending part has been proven false but the heaviness of them is something I need to pray through every day. Like this, help me to get up, Lord. Cause me to get up,Lord. Thanks for allowing me to get up,Lord.

A day in the life of a believer

What is a day in the life of a Christian American older woman like? More important who really cares? I never really considered the fact that people become irrelevant in society until my eighty year old dad told me one day that he was irrelevant now,that he was retired.I could not believe that the most influential man in my life and my siblings life could ever feel that way.Now, a couple of years have passed and you
Know, as a fifty two year old average woman I kind of get it. Society does begin to overlook you. As a Christian woman, I Know my value in Christ . I am His peculiar treasure. Life as a Christian woman can be hard but I always know I am relevant in Christ,

Lazy

Unlike my parents, as I age I am getting so lazy. My husband bought me an iPad and I do not think that helps me. I was just noticing that due to ,my laziness, my nails are a it longer than usual and look quite elegant as I type on this tiny cool keypad. My husband has decided to take up a plant based diet which has left me totally confused and even more apt to laziness as I contemplate dinner. I just noticed as I type my screen moves a bit like a typewriter of old and I find comfort in that. It takes me back to a time of less no I was a mess then too. I just like the elegance of this IPad.
I just noticed I have used that phrase a few times. I have nothing of interest here. Move along. I have had my iPad one day. I recommend it.
I like the bible gateway app.
