With each year I realize more about myself. I have taken the last week of somewhat solitude to read and think about what I want out of this life, and what I'm giving to others. I just finished reading "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan and it really got me thinking about what we give to this world. What our existence does for others? How we need to place our trust in God to help guide our lives. That when we find ourselves lost God will help us to find where we need to go.
In my own life I have concluded that I have never truly put my life in God's hands. That even though I have taken chances in my life, and seen and been a part of some incredible things I have always had a back-up-plan. I have never let myself be completely unsure if I could help it, and when I'm It terrifies me. I need to learn to completely trust in God. To be willing to not have a back-up-plan.
Why put things off that I have wanted to do? Why wait to give until I feel I have excess? I have been given incredible blessings and want to make the most of them in every possible way. I don't want to look into the future at what I could have, while missing out on what I have at this moment.
