Luke 12:24 "Consider the ravens:they do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!"
I've been thinking a lot about how I want to live my life, and what I want to do with it. And I came to the conclusion that thinking about that isn't necessary. Sure in certain situations you must plan ahead, but I'm talking about life as a whole. I decided that I'm not going to worry about my future and just take life day by day. Throughout my whole life God has provided for me, He always shows me that He knows what's best for me, and everything I've been through has shaped me and made me grow. I don't know how, and it's not my doing, but God just always made trusting Him easy for me. I never really planned out my life because God has showed me over and over that He provides. He showed me this through school, college, jobs, a husband and so much more. I never had a doubt that if I put my trust in God that He will always lead me somewhere that will bring him glory but will also benefit me. Of course I had my ups and downs ..as I got older I had to make bigger decisions, and trust got harder..but God always reminded me that I had no need to try to do things on my own, because that's always a fail.
This truth has literally made my life so easy, sometimes it blows my mind. So here's where I'm going with this...
The older I get the more I see how fast time flies, and we really don't have much time left on this earth. So while I'm here I want to give it my all, really use my abilities and talents, as well as take and embrace every opportunity that God puts in my way. I don't ever want to miss an opportunity just because its out of my comfort zone, or seems impossible. We all know that with God everything is possible. I choose not to hold on to things of this earth, specifically money.. as long as we balance it in a way that let's us get by and survive, I hope to never limit myself in seeing the world, or helping those in need. I would rather choose simplicity than luxury when it comes down to truly experiencing this huge world that God has made. I really learned to go for anything that will help me grow, help me truly love and enjoy life, and help me get closer to God. I dont want to settle for mediocre, i want to be the best I can be. Im so blessed to live in a time filled with opportunity, and peace, I hope to not take that for granted. Sure, life isn't as easy as I'm putting it out to be, we all face hard times and trials, but it really helps when you remind yourself that we are here temporarily, that God always provides, and that He will always lead you to where you need to be, and I say that from experience. I realize more and more that we will all die someday, but I hope I leave this life having fully lived, fully giving it my all, fully experiencing God, and fullfilling my purpose. I live by the truth that God provides, and I really reccomend it to everyone. It makes life so much more easier, so if you haven't yet, I really suggest you give it a try.
Love, Viki
MATTHEW 6:31-32
"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?'or 'What shall we drink' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them."
