"Never Get So Busy Making A Living That You Forget To Make A LIfe."

"Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life." Unknown

 I think that, in today's world and society, many of us are overtaken by the need to make a living, and yes, of course it is very important, but past that, your life, the one that God has created for you, is waiting.
 Now you see, I think that at so many points in our lives, we are so busy with our job, we are so busy trying to earn a little extra here and there, and we are so busy with what it is that will lead us to our paycheck, that we are forgetting about this true gift that God has given us, we are forgetting about the amazing life that He has us to live.
 Maybe this is where you are finding yourself today; completely consumed with making a living, rather than a life, but let me tell you something, let me tell you that, if you could see what it is that God has for you in this life that He has created for you, the one that you have been ignoring, you, my friend, wouldn't even think twice about starting to enjoy the life that God has created for you. But here's the problem; we can't see that. We can't see what the road holds ahead, so we just stay in this little bubble of business. A bubble where, honestly, we don't have time for much other than what we are doing. But see, even though we can't see what it holds, even though we know it may be risky and sometimes difficult, we need to pop this bubble and break out of this cycle that we are in. God has created and given us the gift of an absolutely amazing life, and we shouldn't be too busy making a living that we forget to notice it.
 So today, I want you to, yes, keep making a living and working hard, but also look around you, and make time for the things that truly matter. Begin to walk the path that God has for you, begin to have more conversations in prayer with Him, begin to enjoy all of the blessings that you were too busy to notice before, and realize the beauty of this life, this truly remarkable gift, that God has so graciously blessed you with. Don't just strive to make a living, but start today, and begin to make a life.
