As I was thinking about the last 30 years, I was thinking about how some things have changed. From electronics to sports to reading to banking, things have changed over the years. As a Christian, I am thankful that God's Word has not changed. Yes, there have been some new Bible translations, but the good ones will never make God's Word say something it does not say.
I still love God's Word today as much as I did when I was in High School. During my last couple of years, I carried my old NIV Student Bible (the cools kids always had this one) in my backpack which I was able to bring it out and read it during certain classes that allowed free time after classwork.
I can tell you one thing that has changed which I am so grateful is me. As I look back at my life 30 years ago, I have only been a Christian for nearly 4 years. Very new to the faith. Still growing and needed to grow up as well. God worked everything for me good which is conforming to the likeness of Christ as Romans 8:28-30 tells us. Little did I know what God had in store for me the next 3 decades after graduating High School. I have to admit; it was not the path that I thought I would have walked in.
God has been kind to me over the year since I left High School. I graduated college with a ministry degree, got married, had two children, and entered the ministry which that road had a lot bumps. God brought me through cancer and other situations that I never thought I would personally go through.
I am not writing to remember the go-old days. I am not that old...yet.
I am grateful to God for allowing me to grow in the grace of Christ in the last 30 decades and even moving forward.
