I have noticed in recent years (just the last five actually) that even though the physical body is deteriorating with the onset of age, the mind, for the most part, seems to stay the same. I have shared with others many times how I "feel like a 25-year old in a 60-year old body" (I am not quite 60 years old yet...it's just a nice round number). I remember my mom telling me the same thing about her experience. It can be very frustrating. There are also exceptions to having "the mind of a 25-year old", as I am experiencing short-term memory loss on more frequent occasions. Does a person in this situation go sit in the corner, cry and feel sorry for themselves? Of course not. It all reminds me that time is short and I best be about whatever God has put me here to do. Now, I believe that some things have been accomplished over the past 60 years and anything that is worthy of any kind of praise is not my doing, but the Lord's. I believe there is much more for me to do in His Kingdom and I sense I am at a crossroads in my life.
It is official: I am renewing my quest to find God's will for what is left of my life.
