I've been kinda quiet lately while I recuperate from my surgery. It went very well and I'm actually feeling great! I'm still unable to bear any weight on my foot and that will be the case for a few more weeks. That's expected.
In the meantime, I've been spending a good portion of my time, reading and studying the scriptures. Some of the time I've spent watching tv, chatting, talking on the phone. Life can get pretty lonely when you can't get out and live it. So I've been reflecting a lot on that lately. I want to be able to live life to it's fullest.
Now, by no means does that look like sky diving, bungee jumping, becoming a famous musician (though I have always wished I could sing), or anything out of the ordinary. Afterall, I am in my 40's, heh! But what does it mean, practically? What did Jesus mean when he uttered these words?
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
I'm no biblical scholar but I do think his words had something to do with having a deep and abiding love for God and for others and the rich rewards that living out one's faith, brings. I think he taught in other places that to do for others, to serve others and to live selflessly gave believers a tremendous sense of purpose. And I'm ready to really jump into life with both feet (pun intended) and see where God takes me. To meet the people that He wants me to serve and to live life to the fullest.

About Me
- atti2dchic
- I'm a Christian who questions many of the commonly held beliefs of evangelical Christianity. I don't claim to know it all nor do I expect I ever will. But in a few areas, I have found answers that satisfy my desire to understand. And I continue to hunger and thirst for Him. To know Him and to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
