Girls' Figures Day#4

Hi Girls,

Time out for Practical Christianity. Let us concentrate on the next 7 post about how a girl can face emotional instability through growing her relationship with the Lord. Hope that you will be inspired from my journey to family relationship at home, career and life. =)

Retirement

“Teach us to number our days so that we may gain a heart of Wisdom.”

-Psalm 90:12

                In one of his preaching, my pastor and mentor asked each one of the female youths their desired age for retirement

Most of them say 50 or 60, which is not really surprising. When its my turn, I say, I want to retire at 30. As most of the people do not know about me, it’s always been my desire to retired young because retirement for me is the day I will leave a phase of my life, preparing for another phase of happily serving the ministry and living my life the way God design for me to be and be happily living life to the fullest.

The day I will retired is the day I will stop working for people just for the mere reason of surviving and paying for debts while wearing out myself in the process.

In the next level, I will still serve people, but I am now pointing them back to Christ.

You know what’s funny, my sister laugh when I say 30. At the end of the service, I told her the reason why I say 30 defensively  and obviously stating that I feel offended. That moment, she tells me the reason why she laughed – “… it is because you only have few years to accomplish that.”

That is an awakening statement. I only have few time. Life could be that hard, but it is a series of testings for all the teachings and principles I come to learned through time.

Am I really readying myself to that kind of life I desired and just as exactly as the Lord’s plan? If yes, I am getting there. However, as I know for sure, I am still not so there are a lot of working out to do.

Thank God for He wakes me up to appreciate things that should matter most.
