let's make the most of life.

I can distinctly remember that night. The night I was lying in bed and my mind was wandering in all sorts of directions, as it often likes to do. Eventually I started thinking about the future; about the changes it holds and the way my life is going to play out. And change is inevitable; it's good but it can be scary to think that our lives won't always be the way they are today. If I were to look back, I can really see how much I myself have changed; I'm a different person than who I was last year. But what about next year? What kind of change is going to come to help me become who God wants me to be? I feel like I'm just rambling but I have so many questions that I know only time will answer. And growing up will come soon enough, seeing as I only have about two years left of high school. This post has really encouraged and inspired me this week. Its words echo what a very wise friend said to me some time ago. She told me to enjoy life; to live to the fullest. This is our prime time in life and once it's gone, it's just that: gone. And I wholeheartedly agree in a head-shaking, fist-pumping, whooping way. Now is the time to have adventures. Now is the time to try new things.  Now, today, this moment. I desperately want to live my life to its fullest potential; to not waste precious time; to not look back and have a lifetime full of questions and 'what-ifs'. I don't know how to sufficiently express all that's on my heart right now, but I guess I'm simply trying to say that the change, the adventure, the new things; this is what makes life the beautiful thing that it is and we should embrace every moment that comes. So I'll do my best no to worry about tomorrow, to live today, and to trust God in the future. We only have one chance at this life. Let's make the most of it. xx
