Yesterday was a marvelous day with our grandson Dante. We went to church with him which started the marvelous. The message title was saying Yes to Jesus. His reference was Moses’ life. It wasn’t until the last 40 years of his life that he fully said Yes to God. The first 40 were in Egypt, the second 40 were his years of fleeing, and then God confronted him at the burning bush and all things changed.

As I was listening to the message I had somewhat of a revelation of my own life. The first 29 years of my life were those of my abuse and then my first marriage which ended when I was 29. I was 58 (another 29 years) when we started Celebrate Recovery and I actually said I would not hold back anything about my life so God could use it if He wanted. Up to that point, I had always feared my position in education to be at risk if people knew my ugly background. So now I’m in my last “29” years which would end when I’m 97. We’ll just have to wait and see how this turns out!

God is amazing how He works. He truly does use all things for His Good if we will only say YES!
