what is really important.

sometimes i can get selfish.
i can get focused on the wrong things.
like..totally wrong things.

i came across the story of susanna today.
she is four years old.
her parents are missionaries to haiti.
she has cancer, and only a very short time to live.

really?
i just had the nerve to have a negative attitude about the WEATHER?
how dare i.
how dare i.

i have been thinking this anyways lately...
i don't want to be satisfied.
i don't want to be satisfied where i am.
i always have room to grow.
i don't want to get comfortable.
and in this way...
it makes me feel glad that i live in an apartment.
that i only have 1 bathroom.
because i'm not really comfortable
this world is not my home.
i am here for such a short time.
i want everyone to know what life is all about.
that the only way to true satisfaction is a relationship with Jesus Christ.
the one who gave His life so that i can be sure of my eternity.
that's it.
that's the only thing that could possibly give hope.
because our hope is an anchor that keeps us steadfast and secure.
the hope of knowing that someday.
we will be with Jesus
forever.

makes you realize what is really important.
