I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling in God in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:14
Just putting this out there because it's been on my mind for about two weeks now. Within this time frame, I've been trying to live each day to the fullest with no regrets as if it were my last day here on Earth. I'm not trying to be morbid; I just think that we'd really LIVE more if we knew it actually were our last day with breath in our bones. That mindset has been inspiring me to overlook seeming wrongs, to love more, and to give more of myself to others in little things like doing laundry for my sis and choosing to spend time with my daddy rather than a friend I haven't seen in months.
I want to give each day my all and give my Savior my all too. I like Paul am not perfect but like the Scripture above says I am pressing on past failures and my own humanity to pursue all that God has called me to do. It doesn't mean life will always be good or easy either. Right now, it's a little hard to not be sad about leaving so many of my friends here and my students that I truly love; yet, I must leave to pursue Jesus' will for me in New York City in a little over a week.
I'm not trying to put any down either; I actually hope that those that read this will be inspired to really consider what is important in life and to pursue whatever that is for them with an all-consuming passion. So, I'll close with how the Romans put it long ago - Carpe diem - SEIZE THE DAY!
