Sorrow Doesn't Equal Resolve

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It has been quiet a while since I have written you guys, and for that I am sorry. Its a shame how easy it is to get caught up with life and how doing a devotion or a blog post seems irrelevant to the "now" times. I shall continue to do my best to continue
post on here and often as possible, as it seems to medicate me in a spiritual way.

Lately I have been caught up in grieving over the unchangable, missing the past, and complaining over things that are meant to be, for now that is. My life has been completely focused on the irrelevant, rather than the quickly approaching future. I feel like soilders alike do this, ignoring the future, and living in the past.

Phillipians 3:13 says "Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead"

Easier said than done, I understand, but the fact of the matter is, if you are reminiscing in the nonrelevant past, you need to recognize it, realize why it is wrong, and react to how you are thinking/living. If everyone forgot about the past, and focused on the now, can you imagine how much different living would be? I never know where i'm going with these blog posts, i just write whats on my mind at the moment, but i believe life would be exceddingly more happy, simply, happier.

I myself am learning to give my sorrows to God and lean on him when I am sad. Jesus came, to be intentionally slaughtered for me to have the amazing opportunity to worship Him and one day spend eternity in His presence. I'm sorry, but everytime I imagine spending eternity with the one and only Creator of the Universe, I get goosebumps! I cannot wait my friends! So live in that mindset, live in the realization that God has a plan for you, and that this life will surely end and you will have the amazing blessing and living with Him forever!

This mindset helps me live in a more faith-bound life style, i'm far from perfect, but this sure is helping my chaotic life.

God Bless
