Wasting my life ...
As I was saying, before blogger so rudely wrote over the top of me (I don’t like this new format – when I am in one post I can’t seem to get back to the list of posts, and trying to use the back arrows seems to have created that previous mess and swallowed my post), I have been feeling the need to say to myself lately, “don’t waste your life, Ali”. Then I read this quote from Packer over on Meredith’s blog. My prayer point at connect group the other night was something that I don’t think was so articulate along these lines and that I would have the wisdom to know what to change and what to get involved in (I’m all for being faithful where you are, but there are times to change where you are). Then I read this post on the Desiring God blog (H/T Nicole). It’s all very well for me to have hobbies, like crochet and playing guitar (and even reading and writing), and there are ways those skills can be used to serve others, but they are not so different to collecting seashells if I spend too much time on them. It’s just something I feel I need to be more mindful of at the moment.
