child at heart

I love how incredibly simple life is… live every day praising the Lord, giving Him glory and sharing His name to all peoples. So since that’s pretty much it why in the world do we make things so complicated? Boyfriends, cliches, worrying about what we are wearing or the car we drive, walking on eggshells in our speech in order to please everyone around us… and the list goes on and on and on! Someone please tell me why we are all idiots and worry about the stupidest things…. (*DISCLAIMER: I am not saying boyfriends and pleasing people are stupid, to a point, but when they are the reason for your existence and they rule your life then yes, they have become stupid things*) I am not pointing fingers at anyone but myself because I let these things rule my life rather than the beautiful mystery of my Lord. Sometimes living this way does not bother me, and that is because I am living more in the world on those days. But then some days I look at myself and have to yell, STOP loosing your focus, this world IS NOT your home and in the long run it will not matter that I have this car or these clothes or this boyfriend or lack there of…. in the end it will all come down to knowing my Jesus. And I do not want to be told “Depart from me for I never knew you.” So I am not sure exactly what the point of this post was, probably just the Lord telling me something I already know trying to get me to refocus.
