Some thoughts

I have had every intention in writing in here for like 2 or 3 weeks. But you know the road to hell is lined with good intentions. Haha good thing this isn't spiritual or anything. I have had a lot of thoughts and other such information I have been wanting to share. One thought was brought about by my visit home. It just kinda makes you put things in a different perspective when you have been gone and you come back to a place that has carved a knew path without you in it. And with every person I have some sort of major themed thought...you know like :

“they really care about me”

“they really don't need me at all”

“they are kinda flaky”

“they are sweet”

“they act like know-it-all's”

“they are really bossy”

“they want to invest in my life

Yes I know these aren't necessarily all things I SHOULD be thinking...but nevertheless. I do. But it makes me evaluate my life. What do people say about me. There is a song by....Britt Nicole? I think. It's like “I wanna leave a legacy, how will they remember me.” And seriously, what is my legacy. What is your legacy? Like seriously, if you left this world today where would your fingerprints be. What lives would you have impacted. What lives would you have brought closer to Jesus, which would you have taken farther away by the way you lived or treated them? Just kinda thought provoking in my opinion. It really makes you want to live your life for everyone else, for Jesus, for anyone but yourself. That is the way it is supposed to be anyways right?

Second thought is a verse I read. And everyone has heard it. Or nearly everyone :) but this is in the message. And I so appreciated how it said it.

Luke 10:27 “He said, 'That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence –and that you love your neighbor as yourself.'”

I don't think I'm going to add anything else to that verse. It speaks for itself. It challenges with 4 words – passion, prayer, muscle, intelligence. What is that to you and how can you love God with that?

Well I think i'll end it there. Hope this was challenging for someone.
