Welcome one and all to the Blog of the Century! This is a place that I will share my latest insights into life, love, and anything else that comes across my path. There may be days of frustration and venting, and there may be days of praise and admiration. Enjoy! :-)
So, recently life has been a whirlwind of problems for me. And, my family and my closest friends have given me so much insight and so much encouragement that I want to share some of the items I've come across lately with you, my audience:
I was given the book "How to stop worrying and start living" by Dale Carnegie and have learned that I need to live in "Day Tight Compartments". I can't change the past, and I can't influence the future... I can only live for today. Sure, I'm planning for the future financially, but by placing my emotions on the fear of the unknown, I'm unable to move on with my life and Enjoy today for the gift it truly is. So today is the beginning of me living my life in "Day Tight Compartments". I can handle the problems of today and I can get through today, but I can't worry about the problems and the issues that have not even come up yet because I'm not superwoman (though many think I am). Things will probably be better tomorrow than I'm even worrying about today.
The second item of encouragement I've received is a Bible Verse:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the Truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails". - I Cor. 13:4-8
Now here, there is a difference from "worldly" love that is constantly changing because of our selfish ways as humans and the uncertainty that comes with living in this world, and there is the "Godly" love that is described above. What is your love style? And which do you think is the best way to love those most important to you? Selfishly, so you can gain whatever you want from the person and you only "love" them if they fit into your box or schedule? Or Godly, where everyone and yourself are on equal playing fields and you are making the choices listed above on your daily walk to love one another? Great questions....
