there is this song i love that says "You never stop chasing my soul...I want to waste my life on you Jesus" and I've probably listened to it over 20 times but recently this verse just keeps sticking out to me.
what would it look like if ALL i wasted my life on was Jesus? that's a question i need to continue to ask myself.
because all of that other "stuff" i waste my life on every. single. day. i cant take with me. all it will do is define who i am on this earth and is that what i really want? most of the time, i'm gonna go with no. not at all.
So grateful that he loves me but realizing i never need to be complacent. satisfied. ok with where i'm at. instead i need to always, always be running after HIM no matter how hard it is at times. no matter what distractions get in the way...there will never be a good enough excuse for sitting back and thinking "oh life is good" or "im happy with where i'm at"
"look to the Lord and His strength; seek his face always." 1 chron. 16:11
ohhhh, where do I even begin...
it's time to brush the dust off the blog...
today is one of those days where i just can't seem to focus. a little on the distracted side...it all started last night when i just couldn't fall asleep (which NEVER happens to me, luckily)
but i just found my mind racing about...
relationships mainly.
how blessed i am with so many great, genuine, awesome, loving (i could go on and on) friends.
the purpose of some people in my life. why they just pop in and out and what is God trying to teach me in that. i think that is something i go back and forth with the most...like i'm afraid to miss something. i really value the relationships in my life but when to step away from situations and when to go forward is a constant struggle.
that some people just suck at life. and they always will. but at the end of the day i don't have to answer for them, only for myself and the decisions that i choose to make day in and day out.
that God is good and His plan is good. even if i have to continue to constantly remind myself of that. but something i've definitely been humbled of in the past couple weeks is that if i'm not continually seeking Him and His plan as well - it's definitely way too easy to miss. which slightly terrifies me and something i definitely don't want to continue to happen.
DID I MENTION THAT THE MAVS ARE THE CHAMPIONS?!?!?! SOOOO awesome! Hopefully, I can blog about them soon. I mean they did make history after all : ) #mffl
I have this little calendar by my desk (along with my dry erase one) so that I can always have two months in sight. it helps when i'm talking dates with clients, etc.
Anywho, the July one says this:
"May you always have
walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain,
tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you,
those you love near you,
and all your heart may desire"
- Irish Proverb
Definitely hits home. and SO SO TRUE.
Sometimes it's just the simple things that are the most important/what I should spend my time thinking about instead of the dumb stressful stuff that I probably can't change anyway.
