I also shouldn't be blogging.
But I'm doing that too.
I want to live by this principle:
"Life is too short to live the same day twice."
The truth to that statement is overwhelming.
We aren't promised tomorrow. So why would I want to live this day the way I spent my last one? I want to live with passion. And drive.
I want my life to go somewhere. To mean something.
Not to just consist of planning my week. Watching my calorie intake. Catching my favorite show every Tuesday. Running every other day. Making small talk with my neighbors. Going to bed at 11 every night. Sitting around doing nothing.
I want to BE someone. DO something.
Every. Day.
I never want to live this same day ever again.
I want to make the most of every day I've been given, within the limits of my budget, of course.
But I don't want to be complacent.
I will no longer settle for Man Vs. Food at 1:50 in the morning.
I will no longer put off this studying.
I will press on.
Because that is what will bring God the most glory.
There is something so selfish about my character and I LOATHE it.
It brings me so much anguish to think that although I often talk about living every day for Jesus, I rarely do it!
I know the spirit of the Lord lives in me, but how often do I actually walk in sync with His spirit?
How often do I let Him control my life?
Um. Hardly ever?
I want to wake up every morning with the joy of the redeemed.
But I always wake up only thinking about me!
What I will do with my day.
What will make ME happy that day.
I feel like I let my Heavenly Father down more often than not.
And it KILLS me.
That He would look on me still.
Even after every thing I've done and continue to do.
I am so unworthy.
But He makes me worthy.
Even if I do tend to watch Man Vs. Food at 1:50 in the morning.
Oh, excuse me.
2:03.
Forever His,
Rachel
