Real Life Starts... When?

1/8/2018

Happy New Year, everybody! How are the resolutions coming? So far I've made two. The first one is to be healthier. I'm a pretty uncoordinated bookworm, so staying healthy is something I want to intentionally focus on this year. My second resolution is to hold onto my plans more loosely, and respond graciously when they are interrupted.

Anyway, all this resolution-plotting has made me consider how I view my future. As a teenager, I can sometimes believe 'real life' begins later - after high school, or even after college. While it is true that I won't be a student forever, this can cloud my focus. Paul encourages us to "run with endurance the race that is set before us". If I am going to run with endurance, I must view now as being crucial. This is the perfect time to form habits that will help me keep my mind on Christ. The present time is a gift from God that is all too easy to waste.

Great post Katie! And agreed! Live life now for God rather than wait until you are "old enough." God is not concerned with our age, just our love and obedience!
