Thoughts On Life
Do you ever wake up wondering what life is really all about? I don't mean questioning God's existence or His supreme hand over it all. I'm more thinking the little nuances like why did that happen, and am I really supposed to go there, and will I be able to get through this? I have lots of resources to draw from when I choose to ponder such thoughts. Sometimes I get articulate answers worth writing about, other times I'm just left with more questions. And other times it makes more sense to just linger as I ponder the thoughts, and give the Holy Spirit room to sift the queries for me.
I have some quotes below about life that intrigue me. Rather than draw written conclusions today, I simply leave them with you to ponder as you choose. Which one offers you perspective today? Which one pushes you deeper into your soul? Which one answers a question? May you be blessed by the journey into thought.
