Seeing Through Gods Eyes

   Lately, I have found myself clinging tightly to my hopes and dreams in life. I find myself thinking about who I want to hang out with, what I want to do, where I want to go to college, and what I want to do with my life. Instead of focusing the life that God would have for me, I have been focusing on the life that I desire. I realize, through this, how pointless my life becomes if I approach it as a chance to live out my dreams. One of my favorite verses is Philippians 1:21, "For me, living is Christ and dying is gain." Rather than worrying about my ambitions and trying to achieve my dreams, I should approach each day as a new opportunity to live for God and bring glory to His name.
   Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that dreams are bad or that we should throw them out. I simply think that all to often I see God through my dreams when I should be seeing my dreams through God, if that makes any sense.

   Anyhow, that's my bit of rambling for the moment. If you are reading this, it means you finished the whole thing...or just skipped to the end. :)
