I can't wait until there is no more sickness. I can't wait until I can see my Father's face everyday, in person. I can't wait to be able to put all brokenness behind me and live in a state of pure joy and peace. I know it might be tomorrow and I know it might be whenever my time on this earth ends. I know that God loves me and I know my current illness will pass. It's times like these where I truly appreciate the good health God has given me my entire life. I have been relatively healthy my entire life. I feel really lucky that God has given a renewed sense of health through running and helping me change my lifestyle. God blesses me in so many ways.
The one thing I tend to do when I get sick is feel sorry for myself. Today was no different than any other sick day. I felt bad for myself and started down some paths that I haven't been down in a while. I ate way too much today, I wasted so much time today, and I didn't spend any time with God. I had all this time today and I dedicated zero to the Creator of the universe. In hindsight, I wish I would have started this 'sick' day with prayer and reading. I truly think that would have changed my behavior during the day. Since I can't change anything I have done, I choose to change what I am doing now. I choose to move past these mistakes and live for God now.
I am realizing that each day is all about what you choose to make it. God didn't give us life so we could toil in the past or live in the future. He gave us life so we could enjoy the day He gives us. I choose to live for God today. Don't get me wrong, not everyday is going to be picture perfect. Not everyday is going to be exactly what you 'choose' it to be because you can't control everything in your life. What you can do is trust in Someone who does control all things. Putting your everything into your relationship with God, it will change everything. No matter what, when, or where you can know that God loves you and has a plan for your life. If you so choose you can live that life. Let me tell you from experience, it's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
