(insert whatever here)<br /><br />What I mean is, sometimes we think that until we reach our goals and dreams, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">then</span><span style=""> our life will really start. But, I believe that God wants us to enjoy our lives joyfully and not worry about when things will finally start rolling. For example, an artist isn't an artist when they get signed to a record deal, or when they play in front of millions of people. An artist is an artist because that's who they really are. They're an artist when they're staying up until the wee hours of the morning song writing in their room. They're an artist when they play on the corner of a street, oblivious to the many opinions & thoughts of random people walking in front of them. Getting a record deal doesn't make someone an artist. Why not enjoy the gifts that God has given us </span><span style="font-style: italic;">now</span><span style="">? Why wait?<br />That's what I'm experiencing right now. I'm waiting for something that may not come until maybe years from now, I don't know. But God does knows, and He knows when the right time will be. Until then, I know that I must do what I have to do </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">now</span><span style="">. I have to stop thinking that my life will finally start when I have finally done what I've wanted to do. I must enjoy living my life for Christ now and seek first the kingdom of God.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 51, 51); font-family: times new roman;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" >"But seek ye first the kingdom of God,and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 51, 51); font-family: times new roman;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" > Matthew 6:33 </span><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><br /></span></span>During Winterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13603596990293022807noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887971169940996893.post-86302248309480267932009-11-25T22:15:00.000-05:002009-12-01T19:41:54.461-05:00Voila!

During my run today, I started thinking about how blessed I am, that I have the ability to run. But even more than running, that I have been given, yet another day to live.<br />I heard a story last night about a man who developed a disease in his throat which took away his ability to speak, unless he used a voice box. Every time he spoke, he had to push the button on his voice box, and what sounded like a mere whisper would come out of his mouth. At this point, the story had already made me realize how much I hadn't appreciated the little things, especially after hearing how this man would say how much he longed to be able to sing for God out loud instead of in a whisper.<br /><br />What an amazing story and one that truly makes me look at things differently. Most importantly, this man, even with his limited vocal ability, still wanting to sing out loud for God.<br />I do take the little things for granted. I'm so glad I heard this story.</span>During Winterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13603596990293022807noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887971169940996893.post-8758762926373058542009-10-28T20:48:00.000-04:002009-11-16T09:55:40.305-05:00New blog!<span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:130%;" >Hey everyone!
