One day I will write a blog
One day I will go abroad.
One day I will run a half marathon.
One day I will graduate from college.
One day I will work in D.C.
One day I will own a coffee shop.
Today, I am crossing off one of these aspirations. I’m finally starting a blog. I’ve always viewed a blog as something I should do for myself so I can write my thoughts down, but that is what a journal is for. This blog is to put my thoughts out there and if it happens to encourage, relate to, or spark something in someone than my purpose of a blog is complete.
I’m sick of making excuses. I’m no longer going to delay dreams and ambitions I have. James 4:14 says, “Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” This is eye opening and puts things into perspective. If my time is so brief and so uncertain, then why should I ever waste a moment? As long as I am here on this earth, I want to proclaim Christ’s name, live a pure and holy life for God, love fully and without fear, be a generous and a sincere person, seek forgiveness in my wrong doings, laugh often, and be utterly consumed with a love for Jesus.
Steven Furtick says in his blog, “Two words can disqualify every dream you’ve ever had: one day. Tomorrow always comes but the dream never happens. Stop waiting.”
So here is my one day—today. A new day full of a “one day” accomplished.
