Inexhaustible

     



    I am exhaustible, money is exhaustible, my family is exhaustible,  my wife, as much as she loves me, her love and patience with me are exhaustible.  God's love- is inexhaustible!!  Everything in this world is exhaustible and everything we do to try and stop it from being so will be a complete and utter failure.  It is tough to sit here and think about life-ending and what life will be like when I am not in it.  We move on,  we live life, and do the best we can to capture and enjoy every moment.  As much as I try to spend more time with my Dad, Mom, and Sister, there simply is not enough of me to go around.  I am exhaustible.  There is no more of me and one day, all of me will be gone.  My mom and I have a saying that we say to each other when talking, "that people do what is important to them and they make time for it."  I believe that is still true, even though sometimes it hurts when I say it to myself.  There are things and events in my life that I cared deeply about, but because I must prioritize, some things and events have to take a back seat to other things and events.  Why? I am exhaustible. My life is a constant decision that I have to make.  I don't have the luxury of not deciding.  Even then, I have made a choice.  I have to be ok with the decisions and choices that I make.  I have to "own" them.  In being exhaustible,  I must be the most efficient me I can be.  Jesus will cure all of this one day, but for now, I am choosing to follow Him and make the most of this exhaustible life I can.  


As Christians, we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus, this past Sunday.  This event is the center of Christianity because Jesus is as alive today as He was over 2,000 years ago!  I don't believe that on my own, but it is a gift that comes from God.  One day our exhaustible time on this earth will run out and I hope that you, as the reader, will turn to Jesus, repent, and look to the hope of eternal life.  I hope you have a great day and if I can pray for you, please let me know.

One Second, WAIT!

One second.  It is nuts when you think about all the things that can happen in one second.  According to a google search and the site: bedtimemath.org  "With each second that ticks by, around the world 4 babies are born, 2 people die, Earth travels 18 1/2 miles through space, and the International Space Station travels 5 miles around us. In that same second, an unbelievable 20,000 cans of Coca-Cola are sold, along with 9 iPhones. 4 thousand stars are born across the universe." Seconds could mean the end of a relationship or it could mean a new life for someone.  When you are finished reading this, there will not be any final resolution, but what I hope to accomplish with this writing, is that you will think about your actions and your words.  I admit that I rank at the top of those people that fly off the handle or get my feelings hurt way too easily.  My shortfalls in the area of grace towards others are a simple matter of spiritual maturity and keeping my...

Beautiful Things

Wow, I can't believe how much time has passed since I last posted. So many things have happened. My kids are growing up, and sadly, we’ve lost some family members who have gone to be with Jesus. The first three months of this year have been filled to the brim, and then it happened... I heard a song that made me stop and reflect (you probably already know where this is going, haha!). I felt compelled to share it with the world. I first heard this song about a week ago while my family and I were in the van, and I loved it so much that I added it to my "favorites" playlist. I hadn’t listened to it once since then, until today. After a doctor’s appointment, I went back to work and decided to play it again. It's been on repeat since 9:20 this morning. The song is "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone. Normally, I would paste the lyrics here, but this time, you'll have to look them up for yourself. The heart of the song is this guy pleading with God not to take t...

What Happened?

I can hardly believe it’s May since I last posted! I owe an apology to my two followers for leaving you hanging, haha! 😅 Things have been pretty normal in the Andrews household—just everyday life stuff. Like many families this time of year, we’re preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus. But, I’ll admit, "getting ready" for Christmas and "getting into the Christmas Spirit" has been a real struggle this year. It’s been tough because I’ve spent so much time focusing on trying to be successful and comparing myself to others. Matthew 6 keeps coming to mind as I write this, because I’ve been spending more time focusing on what’s wrong in my life and not nearly enough time being thankful for the blessings I do have. This pattern of focusing on myself didn’t happen overnight, though—it’s been a cycle repeating over and over for years. Here’s what I mean: I start with good intentions, pumping myself up and convincing myself that I can do anything, that I’m an incredible ...
