If I am older, which I am, then why am I not better?
Why do I still struggle with the same lack of discipline and immaturity?
Will I ever feel like a responsible grown-up?
I have two adult children; I am a mother-in-law. I may be a grandmother in the next couple of years.
I still
Am I wiser?
Yes. I recognize my failings more quickly now, and I don't make as many excuses as I used to, and I recover faster from them, and, I hope, I trust in Him more.
Maybe I'll get there...in another 48 years...

Oh, I so relate!!
I'm still wondering when exactly I'm going to be a grown-up :)
You said exactly what I've thought for a long time! Great post!!
Oh Girl, do I get this post! But then, Paul struggled with the same thing-"For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate."-Romans 7:15- so I guess we're in good company.:)
I thought of Paul too ~ as he aged and grew spiritually he grew more aware of his own weaknesses and sins. The only question from there is...can we also become more secure in God's grace as Paul did!!? ....my house is only clean when I'm expecting company!!
Everything you said made so much sense. And with each year, I notice my shortcomings more. Now with the medical problems I have, I realize that I am running out of time too. Great job on your post, as usual!
