At the office today, I was reading an email and the thought came to me about how we're constantly evolving. Here's what I wrote down more or less:
'The future is incredibly open-ended. We are continously marching forward. With the books of Revelation and Daniel in the Bible, we only get a snapshot of who we are and where we're going. You are ever-evolving one way or another.'
The only question is, which way are you going?
With each experience, with each passing day, you are going further. You can change, you can grow, you can laugh, you can smile, or you can go further into a mire. Romans 8:28 comes to mind. All things work together to the good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. All things. The good as well as the bad can help you grow, to quote Marvin Sapp, wiser..stronger...better. Yes!!!
As my dad has said to me many times, it's about choices. The power of choice is an awesome thing. What choices will you make today? Are they going to help you get closer to your goals? What are your goals? That's something I'm thinking about as well. Where am I vs. where do I want to be...
Sometimes, it's as simple as making the conscious choice to take it easy instead of stressing; chill with ice cream in bed and just listen to music. With that said, making the choice to do 'nothing' isn't easy. But, again, it comes down to choice.
Something else I've been thinking on is the fact that x+y doesn't always equal z. You can't analyze everything. You have to be willing to jump out in faith.
Faith, that all things will work together to your good. Faith that you can grow stronger despite mistakes. Faith that you are getting wiser. Faith that you can love stronger. Faith that your present now is only a set-up to a greater future.
