In a society where many view middle age as a descent into comfortable sneakers and a quiet, purposeless existence, we have the opportunity to redefine the second half of life, shaping it into decades of fulfillment, joy, strength, and purpose. As we enter our forties, fifties, and beyond, we face new questions: Is this it? Did we achieve what we wanted in our lives? Who are we now that our children have moved out? Will our aging skin eventually hang all the way down to our feet? We may feel somewhat overshadowed by the younger generation. However, God has abundant plans for us. He does not bring us to the midpoint of our lives to sit in front of the TV and binge-watch home makeover shows. There is no midlife to him! We are his precious gifts to this world at every age and in every season, and it is time to embrace them like never before. Right now, we are at our best. We have gained knowledge, experienced more, lost and loved more. We have discovered that not all tweezers are equal when it comes to chin hairs, and most importantly, we have entered a space where we feel more authentic than ever before. These years are filled with excitement and empowerment. In her book, Midlife Battle Cry, bestselling author Dawn Barton encourages us to: recognize that God has not finished with us (in fact, he is just getting started), view midlife as a pivotal point, the beginning of a bold and powerful season, embrace our physical, spiritual, and emotional selves, share our experiences and wisdom with a younger generation, and accept that sometimes adding arch support to our favorite shoes is a wise decision. Blending humor, honesty, stories, and insights, Dawn guides us through redefining the remarkable second half of life. It is time to rediscover our passions, pursue our dreams, and know ourselves.
