i was reminded of something today that i have heard many times
but i thought it was quite profound.
and not because it came from one of my students who happens to have a sweet beard all of the time. and not because i was excited this morning when i heard it. no no – i think it is worth blogging about right now because of the truth that i truly believe rests behind what this bearded student of mine said.
i was asking the students what some of the lies are that we/they often buy into. and really all of them (including the fact that everyone isn’t always breathing right now all the time and the fact that school lunch meat probably isnt really meat at all) were pretty good and thought provoking. i was especially impressed with the comments some of the ladies made about their perceptions of media and society and pressures. and yeah so anywho…
this guy said that he used to buy into the lie that every day didn’t matter. which means that every day does matter.
every
day
matters.
and thats a big deal to me. i forget that all of the time. i write off so many days because i get frustrated or consumed with sin or i get distracted by tv or video games or being important that i forget that every day really does matter. every moment of every day can be lived intentionally. i dont know how to do that most of the time. i really dont even know how to being to think about Kingdom ministry and advancement most days. i have very little clue how to make each day matter. but thats irrelevant to the fact
that every day matters.
