Playing it safe.

               
                             

Some people find the courage to seize the day and get from life what they want, they go through hell and high water to achieve their dreams and they don't care what people think. Some people grab life by the balls and they truly live; some don't. 
Some people who are too scared to take a risk, who let life pass them by and let routine slowly poison their souls, are always dreaming but never seizing and living a life full of wonder and regret. 
But sometimes we just need to get out there, believe the impossible and live the lives we want before it's too late and when we get too complacent, to comfortable and stuck in a rut, that is when we need God to shake us up, give us a kick up the backside and make us get up and do something with our lives - even if it is a risk and it's scary and unpredictable, it's worth it! 
Instead of always playing it safe, sometimes we just need to take the bull by the horns and face the big bad world and hope for the best!

The things that matter.

                 We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation. Our lifestyles today are about keeping up with the joneses, being the toughest, being the best, w e've forgotten to see the beauty around us.  We've forgotten that we are beautiful with or without make up, inside and out. We've forgotten that fame is when we are idolised by our children, our friends and our family, knowing that whatever we do we will always be stars in their eyes.  We've forgotten the riches of life, the simple pleasures that cost nothing but mean the world - a  heartwarming hug, a passiona...

Dreams of a life

                 I watched a film tonight called Dreams of a Life about a 38 year old woman in London who lay dead in her flat and went unnoticed for 3 years. S he was a woman who isolated herself, who was very private and lacked trust in people. She was liked and loved by a lot of people but didn't have many if any friends. She seemed shy and reserved and didn't talk much. She had lost touch with people that cared about her and then found dead, alone in her flat for 3 years with the TV still on and no one came to check she was alright.   I'm not saying this could happen to me but in a way I feel like we are pretty similar in personality and although our lives are so different we could be the same.  I can relate  to her, her isolation,  her shyness,  her lack of friends, how she was a private person I can relate to it all.  I' m a nervous person; especially when it comes to talking. I am not a talker, I am an ob...

Fresh start!

           In life most of us start off badly, we make mistakes, we do things or say things to people that we regret, we do things to ourselves that we regret and most of us end up going in a direction we know is  harmful to us. But I believe these times teach us to grow, become stronger, succeed, move forward, trust that God is for us and that God has a purpose for all we endure in life and sometimes we just need to recognise and see the truth of things. Although we start off badly, in Christ we can start again, we can start anew, our past is erased. We learn from starting off badly and aim to live it right second time round and when we are joined with Jesus, we can live our lives right.
