What's Your Mission?

Today I'm at the gym getting my walk on (starting my workout slow lol) and I start reading Rick Warren daily devotional email (encourage you to sign up) for today. The devotional is about planning ahead and fixing our eyes on eternity. He mentions that our iPhone and Google calendars are in no way able to capture Gods timing. There is a scripture he refers to which says 1k years is a blink in the eyes of eternity. What if I knew in 10 years I will die. What ways would be easier to change. What areas of my life would suddenly become easier to lay down? How much more would I give myself to my life mission? These questions propose truths about my world view and my perception of what God requires of me now and not just get it right because I know I will die In 10 years. I tell you what I know my mission and its to distroy the kingdom of Satan! The way I do that is to daily wake up saying NO to me and Yes to my master. I must know who Jesus is and who I am in Him. In the confidence of his many names I have peace and assurance. I live for another age. My eyes are not fixed on when I clock in and out of work, nor on when my next bill needs to be paid, or my next pay check, or getting the hottest new shirt at H&M, nor as a single man seeing if that new women at church is my wife (for ur laughs lol) My eyes are to be fixed on Jesus on the Father on the Holy Ghost. This will be my life mission. To know God in all ways I can know him. There are ways I never wished to know God such as partaking in his suffering. Still I count it an honor to know him even this way. Ask your creator what is your God given missions for your life, its so much more than what this world system tells us.

My Friday Night

Today was a great day over all. It was 48 degrees in Orlando we don't get that to often! One of the highlights of today besides the cold weather was a healthy conversation I had in the mall. I had a chance to meet up with a friend at the panera bread after work and had a great conversation. The context of the conversation was more or less how you we can be focused on the next thing and not experience happiness in today.

I was referring to a documentary I saw about an international artist who said when she was "poor" she wanted to be a rich and known singer, when she accomplished that she realized that she now just wanted a healthy family(daughter is ill) and to be normal. I started to think that I need to be content with today. Happy that today I'm healthy, loved, have a job, and roof over my head.

Yes I have goals and we still should dream but by all means I will and again I say I WILL enjoy today as if it were a day that I can never get back
