it's so interesting that when you are just going day-to-day, living life, you don't really notice all the little things in life.I was sick the weekend before this past one, with a cold. But last monday and tuesday were basically torture for me. I could barely breathe, I had a staggering headache, cough, stuffy nose, and basically just wanted to DIE. I love having a dad who's a doctor, because he was able to order me in an inhaler on monday nite. (Hey, both my dads are doctors!! =] that's pretty sweet!)
anyways, Wednesday and Thursday were absolutely AMAZING! I have felt so free...I could actually breathe, I noticed the warm sun on my face, and was able to enjoy God's beautiful creation.He never ceases to amaze me. I've started reading a book called "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan...and have only ready through the 1st 1.5 chapters, but it is an awesome book. One of the things that Chan tells us over and over in the book is just to stop and think for a minute. We get so caught up in our daily lives...wake up, go to school, go to work, eat dinner with the family, go out with friends, do homework, watch tv, go to bed, wake up, go to school, you get the idea...that we really dont take time to stop and think.I encourage you to watch this video. yes, it's 15 min long, but it is totally worth it.
~Romans 12:1-2 "So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you."~ (the message)
