Month/Day/Year --100 Words (Part 2)

[This is part 2 of a 5 part mini series dealing with how we spend our days. Part three comes this weekend. Part four comes Monday. Part five comes next Tuesday. Please stay with me to the end.]

Month/Day/Year.

Tax day has come and gone. So have 104 other days in 2010 alone.

How many other days have passed by? Well, depends upon your age. For me, over 18,000 days.

Some I remember. Some I fight to forget. But, all days in the past. Never to be repeated. They are done. Finished.

I have a choice to make. I can try to live in the past. Whether high school, college, or even last week.

I could do that.

But why?

What changes can I make to those days?

None!

What changes can I make into the future?

Plenty!

Living Life--100 Words

[This picture was taken last month on our Spring Break trip to St. Augustine, Florida. Evan, my two-year-old, loves the beach! And, he's teaching me a thing or two about living life.]

Living life.

How are you living life?

Your life?

Stop thinking about everyone else.

Don’t hurry through that question. Take a moment to think about it.

Are you living your life as if the promises of God may not be true?

Or.

Are you living your life as if the promises of God are true?

HUGE difference there!

So, which is it?

I’ve been in both places. And, it seems that I fluctuate between the two way too often!

I have to learn to live as if nothing but God is true!

When, in reality, isn’t that the case?

Thoughts?

Faith-Issues--100 Words

Faith-issues.

Care to tell me how to live out my faith when facing issues?

Last week, I dealt with a major life issue. Some friends reminded me that faith was involved—as if I didn’t know that. I was encouraged to live by faith. To know that I’d come out on the other side better if decisions were made by faith.

Were those reminders necessary? Was I demonstrating a lack of faith? Did I give the impression that life was devastating me?

Folks, until you walk in another’s shoes, you just don’t know everything. Might be best to say nothing.
