Live intentionally!

If you were doomed to live the same life over and over again for eternity, would you choose the life you are living now? The question is interesting enough, but I’ve always thought the point of asking it is really the unspoken, potentially devastating follow-up question. That is, if the answer is no,
then why are you living the life you are living now?
Stop making excuses and do something about it.

Excellent. Even though I don’t think I’d want to pay $64 for a tomato.

Things that make you go hmmmm….
I love my life now, but I can definitely see areas that I would choose a do-over on! 🙂 Fortunately, I do love my life today in spite of any slight missteps along the way, so I can move forward. God is gracious.
Happy day,
Melissa

I was contemplating this earlier today, then I came here and found it again. I think it is too bad when we let things just happen instead of deciding the direction we want to go in our lives. I’ve tried throughout most of my life to live intentionally. I’ve missed a few times, but I’m pretty much living the life I choose. Some things we have no control over, but we must never cede control of the others.
