I have found myself in two similar conversations this week with two different people about looking for the "next thing" in life. I am tempted to sit here and contemplate when and why I started this habit of thinking (wishing) there is something better that I am missing, but the why doesn't really matter. What matters is that now I realize by putting so much energy into what could be, I am missing out on what is happening HERE and NOW, which is as real as it gets.
So I have agreed to stop looking and waiting for something different. What I have on my plate is really plenty to manage as it is and if I can get good at that there honestly isn't a need for anything else.
I am present in each moment.
Matthew 6:25-26; "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
