It’s ok to re-think. My brain and what seems to be my life is in constant flux (1.21 gigawatts of it). I realize more and more each day that life is always in a constant state of change. The one thing that remains constant is truly God. We desire to know Him, yet we choose to ignore Him. We want to be more like Jesus, yet we don’t spend the time to read about Him. I fear I’m slipping into a world where life is pulling me along and I’m not allowing God to be in control of my life. In our church, we are beginning a series on money. But to be completely honest, it’s all about money and nothing about money. It really is a matter of the heart. I’ve been reading a little in Matthew and reviewing the story of the talents. I hate it when parables (stories) like this one are so true for us today. I hate it most when I can see that it is me who needs to really grasp the lesson and I haven’t. I’m a learner the hard way and I have inherited quite a bit of stubbornness from my dad. I know that God has gifted me, yet I choose to not spend time cultivating talents, nor taking the risk of what might happen if I actually went out on a limb and used them. I hate making declarations in my blog, cause once it is published, you can’t take it back. But I want to choose to re-think. I want to re-think my day. My relationship with Jesus. Re-think the way I view people and my surroundings. Re-think exercise and personal discipline. Re-think money and the financial situations I have placed myself in. Re-think my job and the great task that I have been so graciously given and entrusted with. The time is now. It cannot wait. Alice in Wonderland realized the urgency of the moment more than I do.
Let’s Re-Think our lives.
