I am all about the season of life most people call "middle age". And just like those "middle school years", the years of middle age can be vexing and trying and our self esteem takes a hit like it's 7th grade all over again. I was still wetting the bed in 7th grade - but don't tell. Since I am more than a conqueror, I have overcome that little issue. But other issues - just as discouraging - have cropped up in my middle.
Yet these middling years determine our later years. The quality of the end depends on the quality of the middle. I am passionate to see us strong in body, soul, spirit, relationships, and our calling in life.
Come October, I celebrate for no good reason - simply because we are, and we have come this far...
I celebrate and honor middle age in my life and in my art...
And (deep breath) this October I will be taking the {31 Days} challenge - and I will be pouring my heart out to you, in a daily effort to impart joy and encouragement to your middle.
Because we are all "in the middle" of something.
