Older... but more mature??
Just had another birthday... 29... hhh.. I felt older.. yes I do, especially now I have an almost one-year old daughter.. but I don't feel more mature in my mind and spirit. I felt there are still so many things to understand and learn. There are still so many things to change. I want more things in life than I had ever wanted anything. I want greater ministry than what I've ever done before. I want my love for Jesus grow like I've ever loved him before. I have bigger dreams then i have ever dared to dream before. And yet... i felt the same as before... a little confused and loss for direction.. hahaha..
People say you become more mature as you know more of what you want in life.If you know what career you want, how many kids you want, what sort of ministry you want to do, what sort of dreams you want to fulfill...etc.. I know all that.. but I don't think I'm more mature than I was before I knew all that!
I found this quote: “Maturity begins to grow when you can sense your concern for others outweighing your concern for yourself.” by John MacNaughton
And another great quote: “Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.” by Samuel Ullman
and even greater quote:
