Make the days Count...For Him(Jesus Christ)

Sometimes I wonder why I am still where I am at. Why am I still at the same job, the same town, the same community? The other day I put this cd in my car and this song as literally been in repeat in my car for the last ten days. It has me thinking. "Teach us to count the days, teach us to make the days count" 
Do I "make the days count"?
I know I fail at this 90% of the time, but having listened to I have determined to strive to "make the days count" as God would have me do.
I don't mean "make the days count" for myself and neither is the author of this song I'm sure. God wants us to make every day count for Him. Everyone matters to Him no matter what they've done. And once you've made a decision to accept Him into your life He's never going to let you go. We are a Son or Daughter of the One True King.
So for those of you who take the time to read/listen to this I pray you are as blessed and challenged as I was and know that I am going to strive to "make the days count" for God.
Also I want to add. Don't let your failure at this make you feel depressed or inadaquate. God supplies all our needs when we need them in His time. Let this encourage you to dig into His Word and let Him mold you into the man or woman He wants you to be.

"Life means so much"
Chris Rice

"Every day is a journal page
Every man holds a quill and ink
And there's plenty of room for writing in
All we do is believe and think
So will you compose a curse
Or will today bring the blessings
Fill the page with rhyming verse
Or some random sketchings

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much
Every day is a bank account
And time is our currency
So no one's rich, nobody's poor
We get twenty-four hours each
So how are you gonna spend
Will you invest or squander
Try to get ahead
Or help someone who's under
[Chorus]

Has anybody lived who knew the value of a life
And didn't He give His own
To show the worth of yours and mine?
[Chorus]

Every day is a gift you've been given
Make the most of the time every minute you're living"

A stop and consider moment

 It has been a while since my last post. Life has happened. Changes have occured. I am still here and striving to live intentionally for Jesus in all that I do. Although I am still being molded and do not always succeed in living for Jesus as I should or want too. But here is my stop and consider moment. I rarely let anyone see the part of me that is hurt when someone says or does something that does inflict pain in my heart. Wheather it was on purpose or unkowingly. Jesus and I have had and continue to have long conversations about those small hurtful comments from others. Especially when it comes to music. I have a deep love of music. I don't listen to just one genre of music. I was classically trained in the instrument I play. I have listened to country, to oldies (from the '60's and 70's), some '80s, Christian rap, Christian pop, Christian praise and worship. I have heard rap (not Christian), heavy metal and hard rock. Who hasn't listened to any one of these...

I choose to sing

It is April 6, 2020. Corona-virus is a Pandemic currently holding the world in a clutching fear and chaos. On the flip side of the same coin are the people who don't think it is any big deal. Also held in some sort of fear even though they would deny it. I don't start this post out with that sentence to start a debate or a war. I start it as the truest statement of the world as I can see it, from the small corner I call home. I have family grieving the loss of their mother(my great Aunt) from the homes they are quarantined too because of this virus. There is no final viewing to say goodbye. There is no one last hug and kiss and squeeze of their mother's hand. The Coroner arrived at their home to pick up the bag of clothing they wanted their mom buried in and he had to pick it up from the driveway, spray it down while dressed with gloves and mask. I know I will get to see my great Aunt who lost the battle against the Corona-virus. Jesus decided it was time for her ...

"and as your days, so shall your strength be"

I think we can all say the last year and a half has been a different kind of struggle.  On so many different levels.  As I was driving home from work today this song came back from years of playing it with my mom and brother. It struck me how many times as a young kid I didn't like this music or that music because it was "old fashioned", but now the stuff I used to call old fashioned has become my theme and or reminder of Who my Strength comes from. Todays Christian worship music is good and can brighten a day and some of it is even amazing and has the core of what our hearts need to hear, but it isn't quite the same as the "old fashioned" music we didn't like as kids. There are so many good friends and family members in my prayers for this or that. Yet somehow despite whatever the struggles any of us are facing right now when we face them with Jesus as our soul focus the trials and tribulations, grief and sorrow, pain and hurt, seem a little lessoned or...
