I was having a conversation the other day with a co-worker of who is about a year or two younger than I. As we were talking about present and future plans, I mentioned going to school later in the year. My co-worker then said "you should be getting ready to graduate form college, not just starting." Briefly taken aback, I responded by saying that there is no age limit on on when you can and cannot attend school. If that were the case, people would never be able to go to college at 32, or 45, or even 60. Then I asked the question I knew would close their mouth. I said "are you implying that I'm too old to go to school?" The look on my co-worker face was worth a thousand laughs as they sat there trying to get their words together. In verbal response I got nothing, but the eyes were saying "oops, sorry". I just found it so funny how someone almost the same age as me can sit there and call me old. But when you think about it, how old is too old?

I am being guided to a place
A place I've never been or seen
A place I never even thought of.
It came to me in a vision provided by God
I could see it so clearly
As if I could reach out and touch it.
I was told that to get to this place
I had to follow His instructions
That I just needed to learn patience and hold on.
So I started heeding those words, but not good enough
I'll be the first to admit that waiting sure was tough
For almost 3 years I plotted, planned and stressed
Over something that couldn't be rushed
So I sat silently
I was learning to wait..
Those words I heard were starting to take
Then one day, not that long ago
He spoke to me again
He said the time has come
Let the preparation begin
He told me what to do and how to do it
All I had to do was see Him through it
He's guiding me to that place, the one He has for me
Believe and Listen to Him
And you will find yourself
Being Guided too...
