i totally stole this quote from a blog i follow... www.whittakerwoman.typepad.com. it was so simple and inspiring!
'The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.' -anonymous
the questions she asked were:
how are you doing with living your life?
what could you be doing to make your dream life a reality?
and the questions that were laid on my heart in reading this were:
are you living your own story? or
are you trying to mold your life into someone else's story?
just for thinking...
it's exhausting to live someone else's life. i don't know how people do it. i have trouble just being me sometimes!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm...good thinking stuff for sure. I am definitely guilty of trying to mold my life into someone else's story...wanting what they have or thinking God will move in exactly the same way in my life...and then getting my little heart all wounded.
ReplyDeleteI forget to trust how amazing His plans are for me. How "absolutely perfect, tailor-made, custom-fitted, will bring me MORE joy than someone else's plans" His plans for me are.
Wow. As a matter of fact...I think I was guilty of this VERY thing earlier today. Yep. Need to do some thinking, some praying, and some PRAISING...praising Him for the plans I am so thankful He has for me. Plans I truly do want to live to the fullest. :)
Hugs to you, sweet Andrea.
