Over the break I was reading through my entries over the last two years of my blogging life and I realized how little I write about what I am thinking, I mean it is great to have the pictures and updates about what is going on, but I would much rather have writings that have meaning not that they need to be profound, but at least raw and honest to life...I looked up profound and according to the dictionary means "penetrating or entering deeply into subjects of thought or knowledge; having deep insight or understanding" I like to think a lot, but unfortunately I have yet to come out with any profound saying, nonetheless I will continue to think deeply and maybe one day there will be something deep and penetrating written on these pages .

So to start my renewed desire to have this blog be one about deeper things or even just inspiring thoughts I will begin with what I have been thinking about lately.

As each year comes to an end and a new one begins, I always begin to think about life and how short it really is. Each day is but a breath in a year and each year is but a moment in time in light of eternity...This morning at church we spent time in worship, at one point we were reading a prayer aloud (when I get it I will post it) from the Valley of Vision; It was about asking for God's will to be done on earth and giving self over to his will. At the end of reading this prayer I was struck by the simplicity of my purpose in life: to give God glory on this earth, but not just to give it rather live a life glorifying to God. For a brief moment in time nothing else in life mattered apart form doing the will of my father. All the pleasures of life faded away, Oh that we would live each day longing to glorify God in all of life, instead of running to the world and seeking our own gratification. Daily I will chose God for to live is Christ and apart from him I can do nothing. Lord teach my soul to run to you every moment that I would want your will and not my own accomplished on this earth. Thank you for the gift of your Son who has enabled me to bring Glory to your name!
