So here it goes... this is my attempt at continuing to challenge and motivate myself to grow and think and not be stagnant. So what inspired this blog beginning? Below is today's Jesus Calling devotional, which, if you don't have this book/app get it --> Jesus Calling by: Sarah Young. Not only is it great because it's written by Sarah with an "h" but it gives you one page to ponder in Jesus' words to you. It has kept me motivated to stay in touch with Jesus and with a consistent guide to leading me into His presence... anyway... here is yesterdays:
Jesus Calling By Sarah Young, May 1
You are on the path of My choosing. There is no randomness about your life. Here and Now comprise the coordinates of your daily life. Most people let their moments slip through their fingers, half-lived. They avoid the present by worrying about the future or longing for a better time and place. They forget that they are creatures who are subject to the limitations of time and space. They forget their Creator, who walks with them only in the present.
Every moment is alive with My glorious Presence, to those whose hearts are intimately connected with Mine. As you give yourself more and more to a life of constant communion with Me, you will find that you simply have no time for worry. Thus you are freed to let my Spirit direct your steps, enabling you to walk along the path of Peace.
"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?" - Luke 12:25-26
"To shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace." - Luke 1:79
I refuse to life a life to the half. But... I think a lot and never externalize all the plethora of thoughts rolling around in my head, which then get lost in wherever they get lost to. I thought to myself, I really need to get better at writing these down. Sounds simple right? So my goal is to share with whoever you are about where I'm at. In hopes that you can relate or learn or be challenged or teach me something... and if nothing else for me to have a canvas for my heart & head... in hopes that my pondering and examining will allow me to continue to not miss life as it passes by.
