Good day

Today, was such a blessed day. I was privileged to watch and be part of a true celebration of life. This women of God was loved by many and was a person who lived out her faith, what a testimony. I was able to watch the family and friends remember and say goodbye.

I want that in my life. I want to live a life that leave a mark. I can't do that if I am not at my best. It dawned on me today that I have a responsibility to those around me to be my best, or I am robbing them of precious time together. Our time here is so short compared to eternity, why take the chance at making it shorter, when getting healthy and being my best is something I can do to give my all not just to my creator but to my family, friends and loved ones.

This past Sunday we looked at some scripture where the people were discouraged and had given up on the task that they once were so passionate about. I feel like I have walked that road over and over again. I get passionate and then I become self absorbed and either walk away from it, or allow myself to become defeated and give up. Yet the word they received was to be strong and remember that God was with them, and always would be that was His promise.

So then that leaves me with one choice... to obey, I need to stay strong, realize giving the Lord all that I am and the best of that is what I am called to do, and my best self is one that is healthy.
