Beating the Monday blues with an unexpected conversation with an unexpected friend, on what it means to obey, to love and serve the Lord regardless of our circumstances... So thankful for small, refreshing conversations amidst our busy schedules. I feel like over the weekend God had already begun speaking to me about what it means to set aside time for what truly matters. Are there somethings in life that simply cannot wait? An opportunity to bless someone, to be there for a hurting friend, to have a meal with someone special....?

Tonight God reminded me of the importance of seeing the spiritual in every mundane and secular thing: (in the context of what I am seeing,) what am I chasing after? What am I running towards? / may I always find myself running towards His purposes, building His kingdom and loving His people, above and beyond my own rush against time to check things off the todo list. 

There are some things in life that are too important to miss.
