Just showed up for my own life....

Spending my time sleep walking, moving my mouth but not saying a thing.

Hoping the changes would take by working their way from the outside in.

I was in love with an idea, preoccupied with how a life should appear.

Spending my time at the surface repairing holes in the shiny veneer.

There are so many ways to hide, there are so many ways not to feel, there are so many ways to deny what is real.

And I just showed up for my own life, and i'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright.

I'm going to live my life inspired, look for the holy in the common place.

Open the windows and feel all that's honest and real until i'm truly amazed.

I'm going to listen and hear until it's finally clear and it changes our lives.

Oh the glory of God is man fully alive, oh the glory of God is man fully alive.......

Colossians 3:23-24

23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. (NIV)

23Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, 24confident that you'll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you're serving is Christ. (The Message)

23Whatever work you do, do it with all your heart. Do it for the Lord and not for men. 24Remember that you will get your reward from the Lord. He will give you what you should receive. You are working for the Lord Christ. (NLV)

23Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. 24Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and the Master you are serving is Christ. (NLT)

So this got me thinking.......in EVERYTHING i do..........early lectures.........geography 3hr labs...........french in general.............study.........serving..........in my flat.......

'Work at it with all your heart'

'Work hard and cheerfully'

'As working for the Lord'

'For your real Master, for God'

God help me to remember I am serving ultimately you in all things i do.........help me to serve/work etc cheerfully and with all my heart!
