Just a short thought for today.

Recently, I've had a few people compliment me on my skin. Now I'm going to back track and say my skin sucks. I used to have really bad acne so I now have lots of scars and such. Not pleasant. I switched over to bare minerals for my make-up and I use their skin care line (not like you really care) and I guess my skin is improving. Here's my question/thought. Why is it that in ourselves we automatically see the flaws? I mean yeah it keeps us humble, but depending on the situation it also makes us insecure. My skin is still one of my biggest insecurities. When someone looks at me they don't see my scars or the size of my pores. When I look in the mirror all I see is huge pores, blackheads, pimples, and scaring. Am I the only one that has this issue? Or is it kind of something everyone deals with and struggles with? This is my life.

go go gadget....

It's 1 a.m. and I need to sleep...yet I'm still awake, computer still on, and I'm texting the night away.

Why is it that so often gadgets and gizmos distract us from what we should actually be doing? Let's be honest now. How often are we checking our cell phones during church? Texting a friend during the sermon or putzing around on facebook instead of reading the Bible or praying? Believe me, I'm the guiltiest person of this. It's a rut that I seem to be stuck in that I'm having the worst time trying to get out of. I'm stuck and I don't really want to be anymore. I'm looking for my escape.

God, I realize that the technology I have access too is such a blessing and could be used for your honor and glory. I just pray that I'll learn self control and responsibility when it comes to using what you've given me. I don't want texting or facebook or anything equally ridiculous to come before you. You need to be the number 1 priority in my life. I want to get there. I'll need a hand though. Help me out of this rut.

It's Go Time.

As you can tell, it's been a while. I don't have much to say and my laptop is going to die soon so I'll make this brief.

Life is far too short to worry about the stupid things in life. This is something that's been hitting me in the face lately. Recently a friend of the family and her son were both taken home to be with God and it kind of just smacked me in the face. She was in her mid thirties...her son was 4 years old. They both still had so much life left to live but God took them home. What if God takes me home tomorrow. What have I done that's even worth anything? What have I done for God? This is the question I need to focus on. I've done so much talking...not enough doing. I've made plans to change, but haven't actually done it. Forget the planning. I need to get with the doing. It's time to walk the way I talk. It's go time.
