Who is that old lady in the mirror? She\u2019s a new version of you. When dealing with change, you can rebel or accept it with grace.<\/p>\n<p>People are finding a way to do a little of both. Still riding your Harley? Good for you. Taking up knitting? That\u2019s cool too. Though there are plenty of accommodations you have to make for new realities, there is one area of your life that gets better and better with age: Faith.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re older and wiser now. Whether you\u2019re pre, past, or stuck in your change, like Megan, move closer to God through prayer. Be aware of the gift of physicality, even if it\u2019s ridiculously uncomfortable sometimes. Give your soul the space it needs to soar. And give God praise for His red hot flashes of\u00a0 spiritual inspiration.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Prayables.com\" href=\"http:\/\/prayables.com\" target=\"_blank\"><em>&#8211; Prayables<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cEvery time I get a hot flash, I think it\u2019s God, with something like a cattle prod, inching me closer to Him.\u201d Hmmm\u2026weird.
