That statement couldn't be more true, hey? It seems lately that everything I do, and I mean everrrrryyythingggg, takes diligent and consistent hard work. From making time with God and prayer, exercising regularly, staying on top of my studies and reviewing often, preparing a nutritious meal, getting things done on the wedding list, being a faithful servant in my parent's home, pouring into Brian and my relationship, trying to make big decisions for our future.. the list goes on. The theme I'm noticing is that I have to spend each day fruitfully and full.
*Side note: when I sit down to write one of these entries, my mind is going in about a million different directions on what to write about.. bear with me as I attempt to get snippets of these all-over-the-map thoughts down. this could take some practice! Ha ha!
Time is so precious, and it bothers me how I find myself approaching that casually. I feel often that there are more 'important' things that need to be focussed on, instead of enjoying the more simple things and truly cherishing my family, the meal in front of me, the education I have access to, the fact that we have a dishwasher and don't have to wash by hand.
I know that God has blessed me with a genuine concern and love for others with an outwardly way of expressing it. I don't want to lose that gift or feel as though it is too overbearing for others, that I have to "water it down". I am confident that my Creator created me just as He wanted me. I want my value and the will for my life to be all about serving HIM. In whatever season He has me in, whichever way that looks like, whenever the seasons may come and go, "In you, Oh Lord, I give you my life." - Psalm 25:1
