How old am I?

As I am sitting here last night "helping" my mother (in-law) create her own blog, I realize just how behind I am compared to other people in my generation.  Here I am 22 years old and I can't figure out the simplest of things up here.  I hate getting a new computer with new programs, I like the old ones just fine.  How are the new programs "easier" when it takes me three times longer because I can't figure out the "cool" "shortcuts".  Yeah I know I sound like an 82 years old, lol!  But we got some good laughs out of the situation and Mrs. Rhonda does have a blog now.


Then I got to thinking, how are things going to be by the time Kaylee is in school, or when she is my age?  Technology is growing at such a fast rate I can't even comprehend where things will be in just 10 years. 


As my mind ponders on that thought, I begin to think about other things in the world.  The hate, crime, natural disasters, poverty, social unrest, and all the other many things I could list here.  I remember being so nervous about brining a child in to "this world", but I think every parent in every place in time has felt that nervousness.  And as this world around me gets more and more crazy I have to hold onto the peace that only God can give me.  It is that peace that got me through those scary thoughts when carrying Kaylee, and it is His peace that gets me through when I think of the world she is growing up in.


With that nervousness and fright comes a great excitement as well.  That may seem like such a weird statement, but it's true.  I believe that things are only going to be more corrupt as time goes by, and that the earth will cry out more as the time comes for Jesus' return.  No, I don't want to live in a day where I am scared to let Kaylee play at the park; or where I have to watch lives being destroyed by natural disasters.  Yet, at the same time it creates a longing within me to have Jesus come for us as His bride!  


This longing within me is also creating a heart for those who do not know Christ as their Lord and Savior!  As a Christian, I refuse to keep this hope in a dying world to myself! I can not sit around longing for the day I see my Savior's face and dreaming of heaven.  I must get up and tell the world about the hope, peace, joy, love, and life I have through the Cross.


This seems pretty random and I am sure you think the title may fit the start but not this last part.  But as I ask myself how old and I because I am so far behind in technology sometimes; I have also asked myself how old am I as a Christian.  It is time for me to grow up as a Christian just as the preacher said at Winterfest last week!
