Kevin Spencer Turns 50 and other insights on 50
I looked at the pictures of Kevin Spencer's birthday party. It was awesome.
Kevin and I go back a long way. I haven't had contact with him in a few years. I played his songs.There are songs like "Picture This", that remind us that we will see each other in heaven.
Turning 50 is one of those milestones in life. The stuff you used to laugh about in our parents is happening to us. Like when it's getting ready to rain our knees hurt. For the ladies, we can't wear those three and four inch heels anymore. I thought it was funny in my last few years at the radio station,that Sis. Helen and Sis. Dorothy Osborne could handle the steps better than I could. My knees are bad. That comes from wearing three and four inch heels climbing those steps. I should have been lke some of the women on TV, and wore tennis shoes up the steps and changed shoes there.
Life started over for me at 50. I lost my mom at 50. I started back to school at 50. You look at things different at 50. I also started in the ministry at 50. I was called long before then, but I preached my first message at 50. There are some that don't believe in women in the ministry. Believe you me I was definitely called.
The calling began in 1985. I got sidetracked and then in 1987 the Lord impressed on me I was to have my own ministry. I was slowly working toward it. For a while I dropped out of church. Running from God. When I went back to church, I left the one we grew up in, because God was sending me somewhere else for training. I knew I would be here for about four years. It was a college so to speak. I learned many things. I left there and went to another church to use the benefit of my training. Then I got married. I was still dragging my feet with my calling until I had my first eye surgery. With eye surgery, there isn't much you can do but sit around and do very light things. I listened to audio books and one day it was quiet and I was praying asking God why hadn't I grown anymore spiritually than I had and the Lord told me I had stunted my own spiritual growth. I hadn't done what He told me to do. I was supposed to go forth and teach His Word. At that point all I could say was "I am sorry Lord."
I started taking minister's training at the church I am at now, and preached my first message August 24 2008. I am still learning and growing.
