Life since college has gone by FAST. I can not believe that I have now been in the "real world" for a year and a half. When I was in middle school, I counted down the days until I was in high school. When I was in high school, I dreamed of being in college. Now that I have started my career, what next?
I am 23 years old and I look back on my life and think...have I lived every day like it was my last. Have I loved enough, have I served enough, and have I truly experienced life to the fullest.
It reminds me of one of my favorite Bible verses of all times, it is John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
As time flies by me, I can't help but examine my life and ask....am I living the life Christ died for me to live, or am I allowing Satan to steal precious moments that I will never get back. Am I consuming my days with things that matter to God, or am I wasting my life on things that in the end will not matter.
I look back on moments where I have felt the most alive, moments where I had a glimpse of the life that Christ desires me to live. All of these moments are times where I have given when I didn't think it was possible, where I dreamed something that went against what the world was saying, and when I stepped out in faith and saw God work miracles.
I want more of these times. I want to go to bed each night knowing that at the end of the day, I did everything I could for the Kingdom of God. I want to spend more time on my knees in prayer and less time worrying about what tomorrow brings. Life is precious and sweet. I want to make it count!
