Content to be who He made me to be, at this time in my life

I think I am between the ages of 16-19, still believing that all things are possible, which in part is good, except when it's not The Lord speaking. Romans 12 just came to me literally after I started this! Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; When we operate in the Spirit anything is possible, because it's Him at work in us, and not us! (Philippians 2:13) So yesterday I go out to play kickball with the kids, and some neighborhood kids. I am not 16. I am not 17, 18 or 19. This year I will turn 48. That's almost 50, almost. Wisdom at some point should take over, but sometimes my desire wins out. I was rounding 3rd headed for home when it happened. She, the cutie with the sheepskin on, got in the way, it was either cream her, at 59 lbs, verses 250 pounds, or take a fall. I took the fall. Today I can feel the cracked, broken or bruised rib, not sure which, and I am REALLY sore. Moving is an issue! As the above verse states, I need to learn my place. I need to keep in that gifting and calling that God has put me in. Not me has put me in, but God has put me in. "Lord, let me learn my place in You. It's a good place, and I need to be content to stay right where you put me. Cause it's the right place. In Jesus Name, amen."
