I'd been gone for a couple of days, so when I entered the kitchen this morning, I couldn't remember if I'd run my dishwasher before I left. I opened it cautiously, smelled - okay, looked - okay, so I started putting dishes away. But then I noticed a few greasy spots on the coffee cups, and the residue of coffee in the bottom. WHAT!? I had just checked them and they looked fine! It kinda hit me right then, that's how I've been living my life... It looks okay, feels okay, so yeah, let's keep going - nothing needs to change! But God is not "okay" with that - I'm thinking of a quote I heard one time: "God loves us just the way we are but he loves us too much to leave us that way." So my quest for this year is to be more than "okay"...
That is so brave of you -- I know there are people who have stayed in relationships for too long becuase things are OK, I used to be one of those people.. well they should be great! You deserve them to be great! We all deserve those fabulous things in life and sometimes I think we all forget this.
ReplyDeleteI hope you (and your dishes!) will kick some ass :)
Peace.
