This journey we call "life"

Precious Bambino, above. Life is forever changed with him, and we are grateful to God for that. I've been spending alot of time lately just thinking on this journey we call life...

Our purpose, what takes our energy and time each day, questioning if we are being good stewards of this life we were given by God. Created for a purpose. Created to serve, to love, to be drawn unto His heart, transformed and to be a light unto this world.. that in return others come to know this amazing Jesus that has forever changed our lives. I am firm believer that the things we take time for each day are things we enjoy, things we are passionate about, things we must do to simply live. I want to live a life... to walk this journey called life with Jesus in the center of it all. Oh, how I want this. To read his word, because it helps me to know more about Jesus and the Kingdom of God and leads to the way of truth and Holiness. To spend time with God... real, precious time. Why. Because for any relationship, it needs time and effort to grow. And I want to grow closer to God. Closer than now, closer than before. Why. Because He is the only true peace. He is the only unfailing love, He is the only constant thing I will ever find and hold true.

The Spirit and the Bride say "Come Lord, Jesus, Come."

I used to be lost. But now I am found in Him. I think daily. What do I have to offer our children... love, yes. teach them English and skills, yes. simply to just hold them, yes. But that's not enough. They need my supplier. They need the King of Kings, the one I run to, the one I encourage them to run to. Sometimes, in life we find ourselves in the midst of a much needed routine in the midst of much work and demand. But with all that put aside, I see clearly, daily I need to lean on Jesus. Daily I need to give him my time, my effort... and my heart. How unforgiveness and bitterness loves to just make its home within my heart. But there is a better way, there is a way that leads to life. Today, I am reminded. Establish your heart in the Lord, for Jesus is returning. This is reality. May this be the reality I live for, as we walk on this journey called life. In the midst of so much suffering our eyes witness, we can only offer them Jesus. And this, was, is and will always be more than enough. I leave you with this - what takes up all your time each day, your efforts, your thoughts? All our love...
