random thoughts.........

22 October 2013 

this is the view i would like to have.  i feel a desperate need in my deepest to just close the door behind me and go there.  i know that it is impossible to just close doors and walk away.......the title of the post is "random thoughts..."

i yearn for a place where constant facebook updates, sms'es, phone calls, emails and other electronic vices are not in control.  i yearn for time..........time to just sit with God and be still...

i am constantly amazed at how the internet highway has so many people chasing along it........  i am no exception, here i am using it to share my random thoughts! i just sometimes wonder where it will end?  

we call people we have never met, friends.  

we want to have what is completely not within our reach - media dictates that we have to have everything we see.  fast food is the solution to a terrible start to your day, expensive perfume guarantees happiness and a certain emblem on your car "completes" you...

in the paper craft industry i work in, there is constant competition to have the latest products, have the most kits to sell, the best events, the best classes, the best prices - how about just enjoying what we do?  

i feel as if i am on a roller coaster and although i really love roller coasters in real life, i feel as if this one has no end...

i know i am just tired and preparing for a big event and organising lots of people all over, making sure that each person attending has a fantastic time......... but even so, i just can't help but wonder if it is not really all just chasing after wind......... when what really matters is being who God created you to be, not what the world wants you to be.

i should be the best child of God - not the best wife, friend, businesswoman, scrapbooker etc.......because if i make being the best Child of God i can possibly be, my number one priority, i will do everything to His standards, and the world's standards - who and what they expect me to be, will no longer matter!

i am dead to myself.  

every day i have to remind myself, because every day i seem to forget that it is not i who live, but Christ in me...
