A Thousand Tomorrows

The sun is shining, summer is underway, and I find myself thrilled about life.

You know whats amazing? LIFE. Life is amazing- God is amazing- and He has so much for us when we walk with Him. I am excited, excited about the future, the endless tomorrows, b/c even though this life is not endless, with Christ even after death we will live on. So I see the future as endless, full of opportunities and adventures God has already written for me. I have no idea what the next fifty years of my life will hold, but I can't want to find out, one day at a time, I don't want to simply meander through this life, I want to change the world, even if its just my little circle in cincinnati for now, I want to make a mark for Jesus on this planet, I don't want to waste my life.

I recently started reading the book Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper and although I am not very far through the book, the premise has captured my attention. What does it mean to not waste your life, how can I make sure I don't waste the time I have been given. It has become a goal and something that I look forward to, God has promised that if we follow Him, everything we do matter and nothing is wasted, and thats an incredible and exciting thought, that He is going to do amazing things with my life b/c I want to honor Him.

Anyways, some thoughts of encouragement, life is short, and even though its cliche and used inappropriately sometimes, YOLO (you only live once) can be very appropriate in some aspects- Use your time on this earth wisely- DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE. What have you got to lose? Someday, all followers of Christ have been promised eternity, so what in the world can hold us back? Go change the world!
