Hello everyone! Sorry for taking so long to write another blog post, I needed to take some time for myself. It’s been a great start of the year but with a busy schedule it has been hard to stay on top of things. Even in our hectic lives we all should take the time to focus on ourselves, but there’s nothing wrong with that! I like to think that humans are like a sponge. There is a limit to how much we can rinse on other people, before we run dry and need to soak again. That way we can associate ourselves with others and be an influence with who we surround ourselves with. Every individual has their own schedule including homework, work, financials, a social life, and other obstacles to incorporate throughout their daily lives. We put so much stress on our lives that we tend to run ourselves dry and wear ourselves too thin. I’ve missed writing down all my thoughts, so this is why I thought this post was a perfect description not only what is going on in my life, but that it is hopefully something you can also relate to. So what is the difference between a busy life and a meaningful life? Well, Shauna Niequist describes in her book "Present Over Perfect" her journey from exhaustion to peace, from isolation to connection, from hustling and multitasking to sacred presence. How challenging it will be to 'remake your life from the inside out', you are ultimately the one who makes the decision of what to live for. Connection, meaning, and peace will be your motivation as it will set your mind at ease from the idea of perfection. No one is perfect, but the one who was and is has a plan for our lives. "God hasn't invited us into a disorderly, unkempt life but into something holy and beautiful - as beautiful on the inside as the outside." -1 Thessalonians 4:7
Know that everything happens for a reason. God has a plan for you, even though it may not be as clear as you wish to see it. Stray away from becoming in a routine of crossing things off your "To-Do" list. That is not meaningful. We need to live each moment of our lives to the fullest. Remember to take time for yourself because you are amazing, beautiful, and wonderfully made. Make your life meaningful.
Love you all, LE
