You are Worth So Much More than the Next Netflix Binge
I have often said that time is an illusion. Sometimes it feels like the weeks fly by, other days it can feel like an eternity.
Life is like that.
Time is always ticking away. Never slowing down.
And this life you and I are given, was meant to count. We are not created to just sit on the sidelines or in front of the TV screen and expect to receive all of the joys this life offers us.
So, to the girl who is just sitting on the couch...
You are worth SO MUCH more than the next netflix binge.
You are created for the extraordinary, top-of-the mountain experiences and living life to the fullest!
And none of this is going to happen by staying in your comfort zone.
Yes, change and growth can be hard, but nothing is more painful than staying stuck when you could be out living your dreams!
I used to be the shy girl; the girl who sat at the back of the classroom. It was okay to spend a Friday night in, watching my favourite Gilmore Girls show. I was okay not letting my dreams take hold of me. I was just fine living my life in fear of what others thought of me.
It wasn't until I realized that I must seek instead of settle and I must invest instead of impress, that I finally opened by eyes and starting running wild.
And I'm never turning back.
God wants the very best for us. He wants us to get up every single morning with excitement and joy to live out HIS PURPOSE of love, gratitude and praise.
He wants us to seek Him out and never settle for anything less of the very best.
Okay - maybe I am sounding a little unrealistic. Yes, there are mornings I wish I could sleep until noon and there are days where I want to take the easy way out, but I know there is more to life than this...
There has to be.
But let's be REAL - I see two lies that this world tries to tells us: it is okay to be completely self-absorbed & we are to pretend to be someone that we are not. When we live like this, we are living as a prisoner inside ourselves. We are trapped not truly realizing we can escape.
I want God to BREAK FREE those chains. I want you to LIVE OUT that God-fearing life and beauty YOU possess.
And just like any good movie, there is always a story line. But can I let you in on a little secret?
When you let God be the author of your world, YOU have the best story to tell. You have a journey unlike any other. You have mistakes, struggles, triumphs and visions that no one else possess.
There will never be another you. There will never be another girl who has your story, your gifts or your character - so own it!
And get out there and start living that amazing story!
Seriously.
JUST LIVE IT!
We are the daughters of the KING OF THE UNIVERSE….the King of the world.
You were made to shine.
You were meant for the extraordinary.
Life is a gift. So cherish it.
And that is better than any movie or television show ever made.
Time is just ticking away.
How will you let it pass you by?
