Yesterday afternoon I had this great idea for a new blog and now I have totally forgotten what I even wanted to say... So much for my "great idea!"
They say you learn something new every day. I have to agree. On the way home from the beach today I was reading a book and during one of the chapters it talked about life...and paying attention to the little things. Noticing the small stuff around you and being a apart of the moment instead of living far off somewhere else and missing the moment. You know, life rolls by so fast, its silly of us to live in our daydreams. I'll admit I'm very much guilty of this... its soo easy to get so wrapped up in the silly little daydreams of young girls but when I read that chapter on living in the moment, it really, really, really meant something to me! I have also been hearing a quote for a couple days now by Jim Elliot... I can't remember it word for word but what he meant by it is that when you're doing something...Be all there. Don't be bringing other things with you or distractions. When you're with someone... when you're talking to another person, when you're helping out with dinner or even at the dinner table with family. Be all there. Its something I struggle with but something I know I need to work on.
So from now on...when i'm somewhere I'm all there... I promise to pay attention and not take life for granted. Its already so short.
Signing out -em
p.s. If there is anything I can pray for anyone about...please let me know. xo
Hey me too! I honestly just wrote about the little things in life before I saw this :p are we the same person?
