“Here’s to the next five years growing in grace and knowledge (2 Peter 3:18).
– Mr. Terry Fenske
It’s not so much of what I didn’t know then, but more my understanding of a given concept at the time compared to now. Life adds perspective, doesn’t it?
In those college days, God was there and in control even when I did not acknowledge it. Post college, He continues in control and has a great plan. He orchestrates everything. When something happens, whether it be good or bad, it might be a shock to me, but not to God.
God has a plan for Lily (my new wife) and me. Lily and I have come along way thanks to God and the fine people He has placed and continues to place into our lives. If you know me, then you know I can feel a bit undeserving of it all.
Emerging from small group discussions were questions like, “Where do you see yourself in five to ten years from now?” At the time I tackled the question the best I could. Now, several years out, I continue to tackle the question. Different life demands. Different challenges. Now I ponder the next five to ten years.
For now, God has Lily and I right where He wants us. We will continue to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually within a caring community.
To know me is to know that God is so good (tons of grace and mercy in my life). Now, thankfully, I have a bit more maturity to tackle life than I did at twenty-one.
Even a difficult life is so much easier and sweeter when we … wait for the cheesy line (sorry, Dr. M.) … let Jesus take the wheel and become so real.
Here’s to the next five years growing in grace and knowledge (2 Peter 3:18).
