the rest of the day boiled down like this: corn flakes for breakfast, unrestricted-by-time quiet time, deposited some money at the bank (always good, right), some work on a cover letter/resume combo, an afternoon run, chapter, dinner w my boy g.law, writing this blog post, and later on i'm playing some bball with some friends. pretty solid day, right?
the day was made even better because i remembered a mind-blowing truth that i discussed sunday night with a guy named zach (he's a freshman, which puts him ahead of me on this learning curve). whether i (or you for that matter) end up teaching, interning, or some other randomly crazy-planned-out thing that God calls me to next fall, i can rest secure in the perfect fact that God has made my life to be ridiculously more meaningful than what i am doing right now, what i did two years ago, or what i'll be doing ten years down the road. my entire life is going to eventually be used to bring glory to the God i live for here on earth. not just one snippet of it. not just one relationship. not even one job/career/you name it. mom, if you're reading let me know what you're thinking about now.
and so ::
i'm living with everything i've got for God right now. because that's what i've been given. and i desire to live with purpose and passion much greater than my self.
my prayer / song ::
let hope arise
and darkness tremble in Your holy light
that every eye would see Jesus our God
Great and Mighty to be praised
Chris
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about realizing that the greater purpose to this life is not found in any worth we can put in our bank account. it's a startling realization after what my parents tell me and the world tells me about getting a job and being a respectable hard working citizen paying his or her dues. Thanks for posting!
