The 50th anniversary is famously known as the golden wedding anniversary, with gold being both the milestone’s associated color and the gift material. So, it\u2019s safe to say that even when we are turning \u201c50\u201d and beyond, we are \u201cgolden\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fifty is just a number and I am saying: \u201cIt\u2019s time to shake off restricting mindsets.\u201d I was inspired when I read these words for 55-plusers! DON\u2019T STOP READING IF YOU\u2019RE UNDER 55 \u2013 you\u2019ll be there soon, or you may be acting like you are there already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seniors will arise and shake off restricting mindsets. God is moving powerfully among seniors. A company of those who are 55-plus years of age will shatter the lies concerning their generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about it. President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, the oldest men ever to become president of the USA, are a sign and first fruits of this great and influential company of seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of those who are 55-plus will arise and step into fulfillment of destiny and will boldly march forward to the front lines of kingdom service. They will be effective and powerful in kingdom advancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many will pursue new interests and education. A new breed of seniors is arising who will defy the expectation of deterioration of body and soul in their later years. They will testify that their later years are truly more glorious and fruitful than the former.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those words affirmed what I have been sensing as I seek God and determine to get recharged with fuel that takes me the distance to my Finish Line. That old \u201cretirement\u201d mentality that says \u201cNow life is about riding my rocking chair to heaven\u201d is not for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s more like \u201cFasten your seatbelt for the ride of your life!\u201d I realize that \u201csafe\u201d mentality keeps us from some of the greatest adventures for us and others if we could help them out of their complacency and the one-foot-in-the-grave and the-other-foot-on-the-banana-peel mentality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Batterson, one of my favorite authors, asks “When did we start believing that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? That faithfulness is holding the fort? That playing it safe is safe? That radical is anything but normal? Jesus didn’t die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point is\u2026..if we\u2019re not dead\u2026..we\u2019re not done. Sure, go ahead and travel and do things you\u2019ve dreamed you\u2019d do when you reached your golden years if that\u2019s your bent. Go ahead and enjoy times with friends playing dominoes, bingo, and cards, going to events and social activities. Go ahead and spend as much time as you can with the children and grandchildren. All those are memories in the making. I\u2019ll be doing that, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s my utmost desire \u2013 to help change the way the world looks at the age we are by smashing stereotypes. I aim to deliver hope, inspiration, and possibility to our world. I\u2019m not going to play it safe or hold the fort. I\u2019m going to be a radical, fully devoted follower of Christ\u2026..living all the life I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the words I hope my family and friends say about me when I get to leave this temporary home and go to my forever home in heaven:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not, what did she gain, but what did she give?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
