in. out. life. joy. sadness. pain. anger. despair. frustration. and life.
real life. the looking in to the mirror and being gut wrenching honest.
about faith. family. friends. values. truths.
every day waking up and facing the honest to God truth.
what will i do about __________? (you fill in the blank)
but can you do anything about whatever it is you filled in?
no. no we cannot.
really – be honest. you cannot.
but YOU. ME. that is what we deal with. every minute. every hour. every day. every year.
will i get more? another hour? another day? another year? another holiday? will it come? will i have another one?
just breathe.
do you have plans? did you make your list? do you have goals?
oh yes…. work goals. reading goals. work out goals. garden goals.
tons of goals. Marie Kondo would be proud of my list.
but really, in the end – will it matter?
why do i keep breathing?
because of what there is to offer to others. from your heart. your soul.
from what you know of life.
and because there is something greater than life on earth.
so consider God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
because you are more than goals and tears and the struggles you face each day. so much more.
He breathed into you Life and created only ONE of you.
you matter like no other.
so keep breathing.
