I begin in the middle, at least, that's how I think about it. It is really the end of a lot of things; nearing the end of my first year in college, the end of my carefree days, the end of days with no responsibilities. I now begin to have a life of my own, with responsibilities and choices that only I can take care of and make. It's a weird feeling, but I'm starting to get used to it.
I don't want to get used to the feeling however, that I can do whatever I want. I may be old enough, or far away enough from my parents to get away with a lot, but I have to remember that my body is not my own. It was bought for a price.
"For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."
1 Corinthians 6: 20
That is my aim for this blog: to constantly remind myself and anyone else who reads this; that we are NOT our own. We owe our lives to God, and we need to remember His ultimate goal for our lives: to one day be with Him. This is why I have chosen to name this blog "Not Mine Anyway." It's one of my favorite songs by JJ Heller, and this verse is something I am always reminding myself of when I get worn down with my daily life.
I pray that as I write and you read this blog, we will both discover things that we never knew about God and ourselves and just, life in general. It may be through the mundane, or talking to family, or hanging out with friends-- there is no limit to how God speaks to us.
Happy Sabbath!
