One thing I pray I'm learning is that God isn't done conforming us into the image of Christ until He's done--so there's always enough time for the goals that really matter to Him. Girlfriend, you rock 55! :)Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743890053517355404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-82507246054122633602012-08-04T05:54:29.446-07:002012-08-04T05:54:29.446-07:00Belated birthday wishes to you, dear friend.

God's favor and anointing on your magazine article! I've had a couple of kids articles published, but I am still praying for one of my women's articles to be accepted, so I know how you feel on this one. :) I'm just two years older than you, and if I look at the numbers it feels old, yes. But inside, I think we always feel about 30, don't you?

I'll mail it off tomorrow, and see what the Lord has! Never thought of the 50's and 60's as being so YOUNG!! LOL! I don't feel my age most days, and I can honestly say that I am content to be right where I am at this place in time...with a few tweaks here and there like you!<br /><br />You look fabulous! And this is going to be a great year!! Hope is all over it when you're walking with the Savior!<br /><br />Birthday Blessings!<br />BeckyBECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272099392249278847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-36943887487617337522012-08-01T11:19:12.587-07:002012-08-01T11:19:12.587-07:00Happy birthday to you.
