have you ever been caught in a moment that you realize the mistake you just made(past tense)? and you consider how hindsight is always 20/20? well today, i realized something: i need to slow down. and not just in my car, but in many areas of my life. yea yea, i know… this definitely isnt the first time that ive ‘realized’ this, but today – im paying attention. and tomorow, i will be paying attention. and the day after? i will be paying attention. i need to slow down, and just pay attention. this is how you do not live in the hindsight. so often, we are racing through life and not taking the pre-cautionary steps needed in order to maintain a successful stride… and then when we wreck, or get a ticket, or hit a pothole which blows our tire out we think how clearly it seems in the hindsight. well i dont want to live in the hindsight. i want to slow down and make sure that im paying attention as im going along so that i can confidently say that i live life in the 20/20 head on and not in the hindsight.
but i cant slow down, without re-prioritizing. and there are definitely some things that just arent going to make the list. one of those non-list making things is blogging, but certainly is not going to be the only thing re-adjusted to accomodate for more important things. so, until i talk to you again…
1 Timothy 4:12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. 15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Strength and honor are her clothing
