I am becoming...

Published on myspace on Thurs., Sept. 20, 2007

I attended college in the wonderful city of Minneapolis. On the first day of class one of my professor's asked us to write this statement down, "what I shall be, I am now becoming." Today I have been reflecting on this as I have gone about the mundane chores of life. It seems like somehow I end up very concerned about the laundry and the dishes, everyday. I say that spending time with God and my family are higher priorities. But do I live that way? It seems like it is easy once I start doing the breakfast dishes get sucked into the next thing I "should" do and the next and the next. Meanwhile, God's written word sits on the counter and He isn't even on the radar screen of my thoughts. It is a fight to remember that kids grow up quickly or death can come unexpectedly to a loved one and it is far more valuable to stop and love people around me than to make it to the end of my "to do" list today. Now, I am not saying we should live like pigs or skip the "to do" list. But, are my highest priorities on my list and are your's on your's? I say that I want to write songs for the Lord but I can't even remember the last time I sat down to make music for Him. How has God made you and what are you doing with your days? Enjoy Him, enjoy the friends and family he has given you, and enjoy being who he created you to be, TODAY!
