i needed to read these quotes.
my journals are so photogenic.
“God created us to live with a single passion to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives”
&
“…whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion of your life, and find your way to say it and live for it and die for it. And you will make a difference that lasts. You will not waste your life.”
from don’t waste your life by john piper.
i’ve found myself stressing over “what I want to be when I grow up” in the past few weeks. yet God has drawn my attention that it isn’t about me at all. I pray that he directs my steps and that I give my all to all I do for HIS glory.
besides, as a photographer told me last week when I asked him how he ended up where he is, he said, “God is a God of suprises, and sometimes we mess that up by trying to figure out all his plans.”
