make today a masterpiece.

well, let's see, last night as i was laying in bed, i was thinking about my blog..and what i would've said ... But now that i'm here i can't remember what i had wanted to say. last night i was so sick though, my whole body ached, as the night went on it got worse, i took a 20 minute hot shower and i was still chillled, so i climbed into bed and didn't want to move, all my muscles ached and i was just crying cause i was just hurting...but today i feel much better. so i hope that it was just a quick thing and that i'll feel completely better soon.
so i was listening to some guy speak today and he said something that made alot of sense and it spoke to me...i felt like it was similiar to what i talked about in my last blog but just a bit different angle..anyways, he said, give your best, give your all...but he went on to say that everyday if you give your best you can work towards making today a masterpiece. and that is kind of a revelation to me. that you don't have to let every day get swept up in the little details that don't matter, or in meaningless tasks, but everyday can mean something, ( who knows what that will be, and i think it can be as simple as appreciating what you have..) but if we give our best today our whole lives will become a beautiful mosaic, made up of the everyday things but will make our whole lives beautiful. so i just thought i'd share.
and just for a little update i will share the day to day things that have gone on in my life lately..
yesterday was a day off so me and my friends henri and joanna and sophia took a trip to ikea and God blessed me greatly!!! As well as that night me and mike rented braveheart to watch with our outreach team, we had a little team bonding ( then i came home and was really sick like i already said, ) today i've gone grocery shopping( and why is it that when i buy groceries i feel guilty for spending money?) and let's see.....i cleaned the bathroom today, thursday me and mike had a date night( where we just rented charlie and the chocolate factory and stayed in and had a great time together) and i took jamie to the doctor's on thursday..you can read her blog to see what happened and ....so even though that's a bit backwards that's what the day to day things have been lately.....
i hope you all have a beautiful day today where you feel not like time is wasted but that you are becoming the masterpiece God has designed you to be.
