Thoughts to chew on!
August 23rd, 2007
”A wise woman builds up her house.” Proverbs 14:1
I remember when I was in my early 20’s and I was hanging out with a friend in her early 30″s she said something that I now can say is true. She said “Your 30’s are so much better than your 20’s. You finally fit into your skin.” I would have to second that! I gather that is more true the older you become.
It it funny, I know less now than I thought I new then. I am less idealistic, more introspective and have more questions than I have answers. I was talking to my “homeschooling diva” friend (who actually home schooled back in the day when it was illegal) and she said “Isn’t God good, using the hardness of things to get at your heart.” I am seconding that one too!
Lot’s of thoughts running around today in my head about my calling, child training and how it trains us, the freedom that comes from discipline and the absolute necessity for finding Sabbath rest in the midst of it all.
I am off to build my house~ Peace to all!

I turned 40 this year and I will say that life fits even better than 30! Now, that is NOT because my skin is loosening up or anything like that! I believe it is because of God’s work in my life over all of these years!

I felt so smart after I hit 30! I can’t wait until I’m 40, 50, and more! I hope the grays of my hair really do show my wisdom… though it’s hard not to be vain about the ones coming in now
I have a child training meme called Train Up A Child Thursday if you’d like to join…
God bless!
