Steve's Story
Listen: You are not alone. Maybe you know that, maybe you don't.

Lol, the prompt says, "Who are you really, Steve?"
Ha, who am I, really.
Really? You mean, when I'm fifty-some-odd years old?
Well, for starters, I still feel so young inside (unless I start to think rationally about the chronological time that has passed.)
But mainly, who I am, really, is one who seeks an ever-closer relationship with God. This has been an on-going thing for many many years, but I always seem to feel that the journey is only just beginning. Or rather, the path is just now opening up.
So yes, a seeker of a closer relationship with God - that's who I am, really.

But here's what I give thanks for at fifty-two: the family that I've nurtured, the seeds that have born fruit through the grace of God, the feeling of wonder and awe that I still have. I am so grateful that I am still ready to bound across landscapes both familiar and foreign. . .
I hope that all who might read this find themselves well, and with less regret in their life-stage than I have.
For the insecurity in me wants to whisper this in my ear: "whoever reads this is better off than you, Steve. You have wasted opportunity, your time has come and gone."
But then the Holy Spirit places this in my heart: "Worry not what has come to pass. Your time is yet unfolding."
Peace and joy to all of you.
