Who do you want to be?

"Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes,
This is your life
And today is all you've got now
And today is all you've ever had
Don't close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything that you dreamed
that it would be when the world was younger,
and you had everything to lose?
Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?"

Newspring band sang this song today in church, and it made me think about how I'm living my life. Am I living my life the way God wants? Am I the woman God's called me to be? I want to be the kind of person who people meet and say "Now there's someone who loves Christ." I want to be someone who is a blessing to others. I want to make a difference.
This is your life, are you who you want to be?

amber, i sometimes mistake you for an angel- seriously!

there's something that Paul said in Romans that i'm constantly reminded of... "what i want to do, i do not do but what i hate, i do." sometimes i wish people could read my mind, then they would KNOW that i'm not an angel. it would also make life easier, so instead of asking for someone to pass the mashed potatoes, i could just think it and wouldn't have to say anything. :-D
