\"James<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you live each day as if your life could go on forever… or like you could die at any moment?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

A little light discussion for today, right? I know, I know….. you’re thinking:<\/p>\n

“But Megan….. it’s MONDAY!!!!!!” Yes, it is…\u00a0and what\u00a0if it was your LAST<\/em>?<\/p>\n

If you’re anything like me, on any given day you are spread in any number of directions. You are top chef, home manager, taxi driver, appointment setter, taker and reminder. You take care of everyone in your life…. and pray\u00a0you maybe have some time in your day\u00a0to care about\u00a0YOUR hopes, wants, dreams ands needs in there, too.<\/p>\n

Mr. Chan brings to our attention in our reading today that “on the average day, we live caught up in ourselves.”<\/em><\/strong> Ouch. I hate to admit this as much as you do, but he’s right….. isn’t he? Today needs to be the day that you look at every day forward (including today) differently<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Just stop for a second and catalog what all had to happen in order for you to even be reading this blog….. What does that REALLY look like? It doesn’t just happen<\/em>, you know? \u00a0I’m not even going to get unto how you actually got to the place where you are reading this blog because I could write for days just on that idea alone……. but simply for your computer to be able to function in such a way as to bring these simple words and images on a screen for your eyes to feast on….. THAT is amazing. I realize that this blog is probably not a life-saving thing for you and you would certainly survive if, for some reason, technology wasn’t being your friend today and you were unable to read these fine words……<\/p>\n

….but how AWESOME is it that it DOES work? Each little megabyte and gigabyte…. they all work together for the glory of God to give you some food for thought as you prepare your day. That is pretty neat… and it is certainly bigger than you or me.<\/p>\n

We always act like we have more time…<\/strong>\u00a0That we will just do “it” tomorrow or that “it” can wait. What if there is no tomorrow? Y0u certainly would have missed this message if you didn’t read it today and I can’t help but then think that maybe lives would miss out on your\u00a0perspective about it as a comment\u00a0that you didn’t post as a comment for the world to see all because you missed the message.<\/p>\n

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

Goodness gracious…. please leave a comment today because it certainly is not guaranteed that you will be able to do it tomorrow \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I think that\u00a0NOW<\/strong> is a good time to pray <3<\/p>\n

Dear Lord, thank You for this revelation as we begin our second week of this study. Help us today to begin anew living in the moment and not caught up in the past or the future…. but letting YOU lead and guide our steps in the now to be able to live abundantly in Your presence daily. Thank you, Lord, for this provision! Help us to live with a new sense of urgency with Your plan in the forefront of our hearts and minds. We love You Lord and we thank You for this guidance. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen <3<\/em><\/p>\n

Your Assignment…..<\/strong><\/p>\n

How DO you live each day??? Do you live each day as if your life could go on forever… or like you could die at any moment? What do you need to change TODAY to begin to live with the urgency that God wants of you? Please leave me a comment below and let’s get this conversation started without delay!<\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n

Megan \ud83d\ude42<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n
