It's the end of the world and we know it

It is official – I have laser vision!  HAHA  I was driving home from church tonight, enjoying all the Christmas lights in the dark and realized, “Hey.  I can really SEE all the bulbs!  Like individually...  from the highway.  Hmmm.  That’s a little odd.”

Suddenly sharper eyesight with all my other dizzy symptoms of late slightly alarmed me.  So yes, finally, after days and days of putting it off, I will finally go see a medical doctor.  Promise.

NOT that it really matters because the Mayans said we would all be asteroid dust in a few weeks.  Right before Christmas – now that’s mean. 

Well, being silly over an ancient prophesy is one thing.  But what if something truly serious is going on in my brain and I suddenly have a closer expiration date?  Makes ya think.  Honestly, I am so happy living the life I have, there wouldn’t be much to fix.  I’d still do craft projects with and read stories to my girl.  I’d still love on my older kids and adore my granddaughter.  I’d continue to steal romantic moments with my husband at every opportunity.

I guess I would play piano little more, write a little more, eat MUCH more and pack for my trip to India!  Going on a mission trip to that land is something I am aching to do.  In fact, I have now saved $172.64 toward my goal.  I know – drop in the bucket.  But it’s all about the baby steps.  It makes it real to me.  I know that some way, whenever God says it’s time, I’m going to go.

It shouldn’t take having a scare with death to get us to dream.  We are created with so much potential that we’re the only ones limiting ourselves!  Why is it we are our biggest critics?  Think about all of the sports stars you admire, all the singers you love, each of Hollywood’s brightest that you’d rather be.  Now erase them in your mind.  Picture if only YOU were left in this world.  Guess what?  Christ would still give his life for you.  You are worth that much!  We are loved way beyond what we could ever imagine!!  We are valuable!

With a support system like that, we could conquer the world!  So what do you want to do with the rest of your life?

Pondering Points

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Psalm 39:4-7
Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered—how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.  My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath. We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.
John 14:27
[Jesus said] “I leave my peace with you. I give my peace to you. I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be troubled. And do not be afraid.”
Philippians 4:13
For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Colossians 3:1-3
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
James 4:13-17
Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” Otherwise you are boasting about your own plans, and all such boasting is evil.  Remember, anyone who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin.
