For Christmas, my mom gave me a morning devotional book called "New Day, New You" by Joyce Meyer. When I first got it, I jokingly said, 'this is just what I need...a new me' (I knew my mom didn't mean it in a bad way because she has this same devotional book too).
This book quickly became the greatest gift I've ever gotten, and today's morning devotional really spoke to me.
Today's Title: Are You Enjoying the Ride?
The Bible Verse: "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" ~ John 10:10
The point of it all was that we should enjoy every moment of our life. I realized that my life may not be where I wanted it or imagined it to be, but regardless of what I want, I am here. God obviously has different (bigger and better) plans for me than I have for myself, and so until I get there, I might as well enjoy the ride.
For some reason, this brings to mind the song 'This is Your Life' by Switchfoot:
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you've got now
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
Don't close your eyes, Dont close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
P.S. My thoughts have been invaded by the forbidden topic...please pray for me : )
