Can you believe I am on day 26?? I have almost completed my 30 day goal and it feels pretty good. There were a couple of bumps here and there and I did not post everyday, but my goal was to be compliant not blog. Well, my husband asked if I was going to continue my blog and I have not decided, we shall see. However, I did want to mention a lesson I have been learning from this and from the recent tragedy in Boston and in Texas. I think we all can agree after hearing about an eight yr old boy losing his life in the marathon bombing, life is short! Most people know that, but do we live our lives that way?
Life is such a precious thing! I have spent a lot of time wondering and thinking about death. Thankfully, I know exactly where I am going and I know it will be a happy day for me when I get there. I also know not everyone has this view or hope. This brings me back to my point...life is short and I want to live a life worth living. In my opinion, that means, of course trying to be a good person, but even more than that glorifying God with my thoughts, words and actions.
Some days, when I think about blogging or even posting on fb, I draw a blank. When I go to begin typing, I stop myself and think about what I am going to say and does it even matter? As I peruse my facebook newsfeed, I think about what a waste so much of it is. Do people really care what I ate for dinner? Should they care? Do they care about my opinion on the latest news issue? Should they care? I could go on and on. Let me just say, I am not necessarily saying it is wrong to care or wrong to post about these things, but when you think about your life and what you want it to mean, does this matter?
My life may be shorter than I imagine or perhaps longer, but however much time I have, I really want it to be about something important. I want my legacy to mean more than my blog or silly fb posts. I want my daughter to admire me and view me as an example of a good mother and Godly woman, I want my husband to adore and love me, I want my friends to know I care and I strive to put their needs above mine, I want my family to know they were cherished, and I want my acquaintances to know I loved my God and tried to serve those I met. Hopefully this is what my life will mean. Hopefully I will glorify God through all of these things.
So...will I continue this blog? If I can bring glory to Him and honor my friends and family, just maybe! What do you want your life to mean and are your actions revealing that about you?
Anyways, I am done puffing away!
Later,
Kristen
