Leaning on God's Word - Really?

What conclusion can be reached when a blogger hasn't had a new post in over a year?  It could mean the blog had served its purpose so it was no longer needed. Or that it was no longer important to the blogger.  In my case, it is neither.  It hasn't served its purpose (at least for me) and it is important.  But I have allowed many other things to fill my life, consume my time, and to be honest, I had not really given much thought to it (obviously!) until the beginning of this year.

Last night I attended a Dare to Be Revolution and was convicted about many things; most of all about my lack of time for Him.  I can find myself traveling for work, in a hotel room, and have time for games on social media - but no time for writing about how He impacted my life.  Wow!

So I left Dare to Be with this thought:  Make It Matter!

Make It Matter (sung by Natalie Grant)

Pack my bags and my regrets
Every moment that I've wasted
Chasing after my pursuit of happiness
Has only left me searching, there must be more

Take my life and lift me up to the sky
Take my dreams and help me to fly
On the wings of possibility
Come rewrite my history

'Til it's only You I'm chasing after
Take this life and make it matter

Help me give more than I take
And let me see into somebody else's heartache
And be the difference love can make
My heart is finding there's gotta be, gotta be more

Take my life and lift me up to the sky
Take my dreams and help me to fly
On the wings of possibility
Come rewrite my history


'Til it's only You I'm chasing after
Take this life and make it matter

Only one life to live
Only one love to give
Only one life, only one love
So make it, make it matter

Only one life to live
Only one love to give
Only one life, only one love
Make it, make it matter

Only one life
Only one love
Give my life
Take it, make it matter

Pack my bags and my regrets

Take my life and lift me up to the sky
Take my dreams and help me to fly
On the wings of possibility
Come rewrite my history

'Til it's only You I'm chasing after
Take this life and make it matter
Make it, make it matter

Only one life
Only one love
I've got only one life
To make it matter

Until next month . . .
