Someday

what am i waiting for?

i know how i want to live ‘someday’: consumed with Christ- simply in love. i want to know Scripture, pray without ceasing, love and reach out to others = shine for Jesus.

i want my life to make a difference. not to be so obsessed with the things of this world- to give up the time i spend thinking about or on the computer, movies, relationships

but right now I seem to be satisfied in waiting for ‘someday’. today i am obsessed with the world. with others. with myself. i waste so much time.

what if ‘someday’ never comes? i have no idea how long i’ll live. how long will i make excuses? why am i so okay with how i am living now?

once again I think that i’m afraid. of failing and of being different, but does that really matter- i claim to love God, but do i really?

if i really loved God my life would drastically change- how i want to live ‘someday’ would happen now. so why wait? i can start changing NOW, loving and obeying God today, not ‘someday’.

1. Spend time with God and with no agenda

2. Memorize the Bible- maybe start writing down verses and putting them up around me (car, mirror, room)

3. Pray more- each day just try to listen and talk to God more

4. Go to bed at a decent hour so I can wake up to spend time with God- before the craziness of the day begins

5. Be ‘all there’ in my conversations with others- to really listen to them- to be intentional

how I want to live ‘someday’ will never happen unless I begin to change TODAY.
