We focus on the to do lists, the struggles, the thoughts or worries running through our heads, and every moment except the present one. We don't value the moment we are in as the most important. Every moment should be like that. Regardless of how we feel or the circumstances we are in, every moment is important. Each one adds a detail or a page to the story of our life. We wouldn't be who we are today without our past moments. We wont get to where we will be in the future unless we have each and every one of our moments.
Rushing by, driving in traffic, overthinking, and whatever else stresses us, are not the moments we live for. We desire the moments of Joy, laughter, peace, friendships, family, memories we never forget. Just being in the moment is where we need to be. We need to enjoy the good ones, pray through the bad ones, and never forget to take time for rest. Rest from stress, Rest in christ, and Rest our spirits. God took a day of rest after he created the world. If the God of the universe, creator of all people, all things and everything in this world and the next. If he rests we know it is even more important for us to rest.

That is how I want to live; resting in Christ, enjoying every great moment, turning to God in the bad moments, just be in the here and now, not rushing in life.
Most importantly I want more of my time spent in relationship with God. I don't want to forget to, or decide to do something else. I want him to the focus, the center of attention in my life. As of this moment these things are all desires of my heart, but also something I desperately need to grow in.
I know God will help me, I know one day i will be perfected in every area, I trust that God has a plan. I know he is cheering me on and waiting for me at the finish line, I know he sees where I have been, and I know he is with me every step of my journey. He isn't doing this just for me, but for you and every one else in this world.
