Another End to Another Year

I am really going to do better about blogging. Since school has started it has been difficult for me to really post anything significant, due to the fact that if I am not at work, I am studying for my classes. But soon, very soon actually my class will be over and I will have more opportunity to post. This semester I am taking Church History and Christian Theology. Both classes have been really challenging, however I have learned so much and I am really excited about how far I have come in just this year. I prayed so hard for so long for God to open doors for seminary school, and it all just fell right into place. I am excited about where I am at right now, and excited about where this will take me.
This year has sort of been a blur. I am not that comfortable with that feeling actually. I have been reminded recently how bad it is to wish your life away and not living for today but the weekend, or vacation. For example we all say "I wish the weekend was now" or "I will be okay when this is over." How boring is that? I mean yeah we all want really good things to happen to us. However we can't just wait until the next exciting thing happens. We have to live for today and not for the weekend or for next year for that matter. People always say "Next year will be better!" or "January 1st starts my diet!". Well why not start your diet today, or make today the best day ever? God gave us this day for a reason and we must not postpone happiness, when it is available today!
We are not guaranteed another day on this Earth, and although we do not like to talk about it much, we must realize that we have to make TODAY the best day it can be. Everyone is on a journey and on the way to where you need to be, why not make the ride fun, enjoyable and exciting? Life is better that way, I assure you! I wake up every morning and say that this morning will be the best day ever, because it makes my day really enjoyable. I find myself getting really excited about what will happen and who I will talk to and learn from. It is amazing!
One finally example of this lesson I have been learning. Having a career and living life, I could choose to wait around until I get married. Not fully enjoying life because I didn't have someone to share it with. However, on the days when I was a hopeless romantic (crying while watching a sappy movie) I would say to God " I have faith that you have someone for me, and I can't wait till you reveal him to me". I turned the "whoa is me" attitude and turned it around into me praising God and speaking the faith that I know He has someone to me. Now I am not saying that by doing this will bring Prince Charming any faster. However what I am saying is that I enjoyed the ride on the way to where I am going. I would hate to admit to myself when I do meet Mr. Right, that "Yeah I just waited around for so-n-so. Didn't really live, just kinda survived."....ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!! Life is to be lived to day!!!!!! So my last words on this post to you is GET STARTED, LIFE IS HERE! God Bless you all!!!!
