It was a spring day today. I was trapped inside for the entirety of it. In the forecast is: snow. Yes! (Sarcasm dripping all over this people). It seems like we will be experiencing the four seasons this week. New Yorkers are simply living through it and trying to just “let it go,” Frozen-style, and gird our tights and leggings to stay warm. I hope the meteorologists are lying. Is that a bad thing to wish?
This week, even though it’s only Tuesday, has been exhausting.
Today, I finished Limitless by Nick Vujicic. Here is some inspiration from the last chapter:
“The greatest miracle is the transformation from the inside out. The greatest purpose is to know God as a friend and to have the blessing of going home to heaven, where no pain, no sickness, no hardship will ever find you.[…]While I am in this life, I try to have an impact that will last just as long. It won’t matter how much money I made or how many nice cars I’ve owned. What will matter is that I reached out to someone and served a purpose greater than my own.[…]Love each other as if it’s your last day on this earth. Live life to the fullest and appreciate every day that you wake up and take a breath.” pg. 158-159, Limitless, Nick Vujicic
Can I just say, life is strange. Things come full circle. You suffer; you learn; you share with those going through what you went through in the past; you grow; you get pulled up; you pull others up… it’s a fascinating cycle.
Sometimes, some things are never resolved (the way we envision resolution). I have seen so many changes, turning points, big moments–I can’t help but think about life; its intricacies and how God connects us all.
On a not-so-random note: I can’t wait until spring!
xoxo.
