"I do not run to add days to my life. I run to add LIFE to my days."

lyrical thoughts...

These Bethany Dillon lyrics have been running through my head all day. Perhaps because what my life is like at this moment seems so far from what i want it to be, so naturally i wish to be someone else, someone other than me. Why is this so natural though? As soon as something goes wrong or unplanned, the grass is always greener, right? Well, why can't we embrace the yucky moments, the unproductive hours, the late nights up alone, the allowance of one's body, especially the mind, to wander aimlessly for a moment with no purpose or goal other than mere curiousity and interest? One thing I have learned is that life is definitely, atleast part of it anyway, is out of our hands. Knowing this I want to strive to embrace every moment, good or bad; perfectly planned or awfully unprepared, with the wind at my back or the rain in my path (or snow covering my car). I desire to live each moment the best I can and not look back or look at others reactions.

I think evidence for my spiritual growth is when I find myself more willing to ask other people to keep praying for something.
