As of today, I am 80 years old! Yikes!!!
I have been anxious about turning 80. Getting excited about this milestone has been challenging. I thought what made a particularly hard birthday was that it ushered in my eighth decade of the end of my life and that meant I was officially old.
As I contemplate this uncharted territory, I need to consciously make a commitment with God who has my times in His hands to age happily, joyfully, and spread light to all those around me by living in the present, looking to the future, and never taking one moment for granted!
When I think of the years, I have left I wonder, what do I want to accomplish? How will I direct and use my energies? Where will I spend my time and where will I focus my efforts...
For me, I hope to continue leading and participating in growth groups. These activities give me a great deal of pleasure, and keep me challenged. So, what's the big deal about getting old? I've had a good career, hopefully left a small but meaningful legacy. I've had - and still have- a good marriage, three children I am proud of, the most brilliant grandchildren and great grandchild, and a broad range of interests that fill my time. What more do I want? Maybe it's time to just take pleasure in living well, to find peace where there once was ambition- and anxiety.
What a thought! Forget about achievement, forget about recognition, forget about being productive, stop regretting the slippage of time.
Very hard! So now, on the start of my "Now or Never" Decade, I will make my goal, "To be present and know God's presence."
Lastly, I appreciate the powerful role God's Grace has played in my life, and I'll keep reminding myself to stay on His path for me.

This season is not a loss of purpose—it’s a shift in how you lead.

You no longer parent from authority. Now, you parent from legacy.

Your greatest influence isn’t in what you say— It’s in how you live. How you respond. How you grow. How you trust God in the messy, real moments.

Because when your adult children see you changing, healing, and walking with God—they begin to believe healing is possible for them, too.

You are the legacy. Your life is still shaping theirs.

🛠 Tool: This week, model something you want to see in them—patience, humility, forgiveness, faith. Let your life be the message.

1 Peter 5:3 (NIV)
“Not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.”
This verse beautifully echoes the shift from authority to legacy—leading by example, not control.
