Side note to God

Lord...

Thank you for all the answered and unanswered prayers...
Thank you for the rough times...without it we could not feel the sweetness of freedom...

Thank you for the dark nights...
Thank you for the bitter moments...
Thank you for all the rejected answers...
Without it hope would have lost its meaning and...faith..would have lost its color...

There are no words to describe your glory...your blessing hands..and your forgiving spirit

Thank you for inviting us and allowing us to praise you!
Be with us...guide us and deliver us from evil...

In your name..Amen!

never looked at life this way before

Hello to whoever is reading,

It is around 9:30 P.M. on a quiet Friday night. As I was catching up with some readings just right now, I just thought about what I heard on the radio last night and figured that I had to write about it and share it with the rest of the world. It opened my eyes to no limit and I hope it will be a buzzer to someone out there.

I'd like to think of myself as a positive person. I always try to look at the half-full of the glass. I try not to freak out when times are hard and trust the superpower, and I thought that was good enough until last night.

Last night, delilah radio show host of 97.1 (After hours with Delilah) was on as I was driving home from school. I was tired and impatient to get home and unwind mentally from the whole world until Delilah said:

"Live your life. I can not understand when I meet people at the grocery store and they tell me that they are buying food to go sit in front of the TV and do nothing. Live your real life; not the life that is behind the magic box! I can not believe when people waste hours and hours of their days.

"In those hours, laughter can be burst, yarns can be knitted, crochets can be made, hungry kids can be fed, God can be praised, books can be read, and love can be spread. Live your life...

I can not believe when I think bout how short life can be..and yet people take it for granted and think they have all the time in the world. Live you life to the to the fullest! "

My mind was blocked as she had just said the most unbelievable thing! Why this sounded so new to me? I almost stopped the car to think. I thought this has got to be the most powerful thing I heard in a long time!

And I remembered, I know so many people around me including myself that take this direction unconsciously. I remembered how tasks are forwarded to tomorrow, love is often put on hold, and concede becomes peoples best friend. We forget about the super power. We often have to remind ourselves that our 9-5 job is not our everything! and there are other things in life that can mean so much more!

I don't know about you, but those words are embedded on my soul and will be with me forever; so I thinknthe next time you wanted to put your life on hold again, just remember, life will go on, clock won't stop ticking, and love can slip out of your hands before your eyes!

That is it for tonight, thank you for listening!
