How it sounds in your head: You're 45. Everyone launching things is 28. Your body is tired, your energy is lower, and the world wants fresh faces. You missed your window. Just maintain what you have and don't embarrass yourself trying to be something you're not at this age.

I am Abraham's seed, heir according to promise, and the BARAK blessing rests on me regardless of my age. IT IS WRITTEN in Galatians 3:29 that I am an heir according to PROMISE, not performance or age. My latter years will be GREATER than my former. God didn't bring me this far to abandon me now—He's been PREPARING me for such a time as this.
