I'm turning 57 on Sunday (19th). Those numbers have never bothered me. Strangely, though, I didn't expect this about getting older. Didn't see it coming. Fear. Yes, I'm a person of faith,. I know we're not supposed to be afraid and I do know where it comes from. Still, I struggle with it sometimes. Just being honest here.
Health issues, finance issues, the state of our country, our children, our spouse, the future. The list is infinite if I let myself think about it. Am I the only baby boomer struggling with fear? I doubt it. I just don't hear anyone saying so.
It's my thinking that's the problem. I have to remember that the same thing is true now that was true when I was young and strong.
1. God is in control. He's got my back.
2. His steadfast love never ceases, never comes to an end.
3. He has a plan for my life. Random is not in His vocabulary.
I wonder if this struggle is why dear old Prue Benson always sang the same song when it was his turn for a solo at church. "His Eye is on the Sparrow, and I KNOW He watches me." Praise God!
Are you ever afraid?

The Dreaded Hair Incident
Taking a little break to tell a funny that happened to me yesterday. Actually, it was something I dreaded, but when it actually happened, I had to laugh.
My close friends and family know I've lost a lot of my hair because of some health issues (not the life threatening kind) and so I wear wigs. I've gotten used to it and now I love the convenience and variety of it. But living in windy West Texas, I always feared the rig blowing off my head. It finally happened yesterday.
I left work and walked outside to a raging wind. Since both my hands were full I wasn't holding on to my "hair" as usual in that situation. Off it came and blew away from me so fast I knew I'd never be able to retrieve it. I threw my purse and, Heaven be praised, it whacked that rug right down to the ground before it blew into the street. I couldn't put it back on fast enough.
We Baby Boomers have to learn to laugh at these getting older issues. What are you dreading? It might not be as bad as you thought:)
P.S. Looking for a new style...these were interesting. What do you think?
