We are a vanishing mist.

New Year, New Perspective

As you are standing on the brink of not only a new year, but a whole new decade, you have a blank slate in front of you.  So, what are you going to do with it? 

Life is short.  James actually refers to our life as a mist! We’ll appear for a little time and then we’ll vanish (James 4:14).  For some of you, that may seem depressing. Someone once told my husband, “Life is a series of disappointments, and then you die.”  I think many people view life in that manner. I also think we all know that the way we view life greatly affects the way we live it.  It’s time to get out of the rut that you’re stuck in. It’s time to stop simply existing. Let’s work together to change our perspective.

Take the time to discover what/who you were created to be.  How are you wired? What are your gifts? What is your purpose here on earth?  Is it merely to live a humdrum life day after day after day? Get up, go to work, complain about the day, come home, eat dinner, sit on the couch, go to bed, and then start over.  I hardly think so.  

The purpose of this blog will be to encourage you to stop waiting.  Don’t wait to discover your purpose. Don’t wait to tell your loved ones how you feel.  Don’t wait to spend time with your friends and family. Don’t wait to reach out to help others.  Make the most of your days. Dig deeper in your faith. Live a life full of love for others. Love God first and then reach outside of yourself and make a difference.

Let’s all vow to stop looking inward and change to an outward focus, not just because it’s a new year, but because that’s what life is all about.  This will be a lifestyle change for many of you, a complete change in perspective. Will you join me on this life changing journey? I sure hope you will and I hope that you Don’t Wait!
